So I was diagnosed with colitis a few months ago after going to the ER and getting a CT scan (lovely price that was, I might add). I looked online after the diagnosis and found it odd that I was diagnosed with that even though I hadn't been experiencing any of the GI symptoms, like diarrhea or abdominal pain. It just felt inflamed and irritated and more painful when I ate or drank particular things.
A few months later, any extreme pain has subsided, but the irritation continues. I've been taking probiotics, which have helped quite a bit, but occasionally there's still this annoying feeling like it's slightly irritated. I've been eating more fiber and have been making sure to avoid alcohol and other foods that bother it.
Any thoughts? I could go see a doctor but I'd like to avoid another extremely high bill!
