Had a colonoscopy and endoscopy today.
Still have to wait for the results but they said I have colitis (I did Google but kept getting ulcerative colitis which I don't know if it's different.
Background:
pain on Left side and above navel, sometimes pain on right (for past year)
I thought it was ovarian, been back/forth to GP.
Had a scan (March) and found a gallstone (waiting to have it removed) but still the left and centre pain too.
So - the diet had to change . I'm a vegetarian but cut out cheese, crisps. GP said cut out fibre- bread,beans,peas,lentils.
So very limited diet now, still the odd flare up.
I won't know exactly what's going on till the results. I'm hoping having the gallbladder out will relieve alot.
But what do I need to do for colitis. What to avoid? What will help?
TIA
