The illness that I had earlier this year, or whenever it was, has returned, colitis or whatever it is. I feel pretty nauseated and have some pain, but I'm not going to make another trip to the ER in the middle of the night. When I went before, I lay on the hospital bed for a day or two before they ran any tests or discussed any treatment, so I might as well chill. Or try to. I'll call Dr. Gruman's office in the morning.
Maybe I'll be okay by morning. Later in the morning.
Over the weekend we had the excitement of the snow, and I couldn't get out of the house. Then yesterday I had the cleaning lady and her husband over working on the house. Today I slept until 1:00 p.m., then had to juggle a bath, being upright when the Publix lady brought my groceries, and then going to vote, and then to fill up the car's gas tank which was about empty. Then I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking now I can wrap a present or two and do some decorating and work on getting the books out of the office floor and into the bookcases. And make some dinner and eat something.
Dinner might have been a mistake, if raw vegetables can bring on an attack of this mess. I had a plate full of veggies and hummus, and enjoyed it very much. Then the pain in my right side started, and so.
To make matters worse today, I've had this old song running through my head all day and night: Stagger Lee and Billy.

It's not your appendix, is it? That can make you nauseous. Did they check you for gallstones? Eating can cause the nausea/pain if it is gallstones. Does it only happen with vegetables? Maybe too much fiber at a time? Really trying to think what it could be. Hopefully your Dr. will have some answers.
Hey, Deb. Thanks for posting. I do have a gallstone, but also this other thing. The doctors said I had, or probably had, colitis, but I don't know of any treatment or medication they did for it. I'll have to have gall bladder surgery. I hope it would stop this illness, but nobody has said it would.
Hey! I just saw this. I did some reading online, and a lot of medical sites (WebMD, Mayo clinic) mention high-fiber foods as being a potential problem for people who have colitis. I have some websites - I will send them to you and call you tomorrow. Love you!! Jed
