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

Posted by andreweaston @andreweaston, Mar 19 6:29am

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.

@mary6787 - confirming you are talking about idiopathic myointimal hyperplasia of mesenteric veins (IMHMV)? As in this published case report?

@gigipatula Thanks for the headsup! I live in the valley in California so that would be 1 in a million. I also dont have 90% of the mainstream symptoms of that condition but it was interesting to be aware about! Thank you and ill follow up with this as a last resort. As for the tacobell, i dont know why i did that. Got to comfortable it feels like, im only 24 so sometimes its hard to believe im restricted like that.

@andreweaston I's still get the test done, but there is clearly something going on and I personally would not accept the sort of "it's your fault" diagnosis. I'd see an allergist if you have not already done so. Maybe keep a food diary and any meds, supplements, and OTC meds, with times and what you eat, then the outcome. Also I found out that Nsaids make me sick, especially with an empty stomach so I don't take them anymore unless I'm really hurting. Sometimes we can figure out what's going on better than anyone else. Hope you can find out what's going on and get back to enjoying your youth 🙂
