I almost certainly have UC based on abnormal blood and faecial calproctein test. I have to be referred for tests which I am terrified about and had already resigned myself to the fact I had this condition but where do I go from here? Will I still be able to eat/drink what I like? Will the diarrhoea and streaks of blood stop once I start meds? What are the side effects of meds? Will i still be able to work/Go out without worryingabout toilets? Will I start getting severe pain (I don't have any now). I cannot believe this. Was such a healthy person before all of this. I knew my "bug" in October was not just that. It went in stages sure but it lasted far too long.
