Food poisoning

[30A Skunkape]

BR, I am glad they got you taken care of. Those 8 days were awful for me. I didn't go into the hospital until the next day. I went home and went to bed and drank plenty of gatorade but wasn't any better the next day so I decided I needed to go. I went to a minor emergency clinic and had to go rushing to the bathroom. I made the most awful mess all over the bathroom floor, and not from throwing up. They had me on IV's and several combinations of drugs. Thinking back I wished I had sued them. Because I am forever going to have to see the gastroenterologist as that is how I ended up with the ulcerative colitis, even though it is under control. And no one else reported getting sick from that same pan of chicken that I am aware of anyway. Take care.

Lady D, who told you you contracted UC from eating spoiled food?

My gastro doctor. Been seeing him 21 years. Is that not possible???

BTW, I just found this on the net on a gastroenterology consultants site. Colitis may be due to infections like Salmonella.

Anything is possible, not sure if there is good data to back that up though.

Well, maybe not. He had told me the salmonella had caused the colitis. Wasn't feeling too well for sure at that point anyway, and you have to assume they know what they are talking about.

OK, colitis and ulcerative colitis are two different diseases. Colitis is a non-specific inflammation of the bowel, totally consistent with food poisoning, ulcerative colitis is a chronic, ulcerating disease of the large bowel thought to have an autoimmune etiology. As far as I know, food poisoning and ulcerative colitis are unrelated!

Well, I definitely have ulcerative colitis. Lower left sigmoid portion of my colon is what is effected. Had a flareup of proctitis a month ago. That is why I have to have a sigmoidoscope every 5 years and a colonoscopy every 10 years. Just had rotten luck that all three things hit me at the same time.

Thanks for asking. I'm asymptomatic right now, but still weak.
