Colon inflammation or other: Don't know what I'm healing?

Posted by andreweaston @andreweaston, 10 hours ago

I was in the ER and got diagnosed with inflammation on the left side of my colon. I was prescribed anti nausea medications. Home my symptoms are genuinely discomfort in my stomach area noticeable fleeling in my colon area and INSANE nausea that is only relieved by reglin and not ondanestron. Is this really just Inflammation in my colon or something else at play? My mind cant calm itself down cause im to afraid of my symptoms and how long im gonna be dealing with them.

@gravity3 about 10 months ago, i had pylori and successfully eradicated it with quad therapy. Colonoscopy was just a hemroid. There was inflammation in my stomach for gastritis but was ruled to be pylori and after quad therapy i was fully healed with only symptoms from anxiety and malnutrition to deal with. 8 months ago i was back working and perfectly fine till tacobell about 6 days ago

Not to sound like a broken record ( I know I am) but eating at Taco Bell is a no no if you have stomach issues. I used to eat there with my kids were young and every time I felt very bloated and ill. But here is my broken record, you should be tested for Alpha Gal Syndrome AGS for short, it does wild things to your stomach. It's caused by a Lone Star tick bite, if you live anyplace they are located you should be tested and they are pretty much every where. Simple blood test go to Lab Corp or your Dr. and have it done super easy 🙂 A few months ago a healthy man in New Jersey was 40ish years old and who was a runner and he died from it. name of the test is Alpha-Gal IgE Panel.

What were the post ER instructions? "Inflammation of the colon" is pretty general; did the ER have any ideas of what could have caused it (besides Taco Bell). Have you followed up with your GI doctor?
