Lower Right abdominal for months

Upvotes

Since April end of this year,I've been having abdominal pain in my lower right abdomen and I usually have stomach problems like constipation or diarrhea at times so I thought it would go away with it but it didn’t . In fact in some weeks,it got worse and when I went to the doc,they told me it was colitis.They ruled out appendicitis cus the pain would come and go but I was in much pain when I walked(not everytine i walked tho) or when I lied on my side to sleep,I had to sleep straight on my back without moving or else the pain wouldn't let me sleep. I would also get aches when I eat or when I feel like I need to use the toilet. I also got a lot of flatulence.

After a week of meds ,I didn’t get better. So I went to another doc who told me to get ultrasound (cus I had kidney stone and uti before) . Ultrasound showed nothing and so they described me some meds. However ,the pain didn’t stop and I only got bad constipation cus of the meds. I was afraid of getting bad hemorrhoids so I went back to the doc and then told me to just get duphalac and that the constipation was causing the pain or probably some intestinal issue. They didn’t understand that the pain had been there before the constipation phase. I got tired of doctors,so I just try to deal with it. Nowadays ,the pain is subtle ,a bit here and there however it can be a real ache, out of nowhere. Sometimes ,it seems to move towards the left abdomen and cause some pain there too.

I don't know what to do anymore. I am already suffering with my bladder and recurring uti. And I've not been a healthy person as a kid so it's all making me depressed.

IBD Flare Food recommendations for flares

2 Upvotes

I have had IBD-U (leaning to UC) for a couple months and am currently in a pretty bad flare up (calprotectin >800) and have been advised to eat a bland, low FODMAP diet.

I have been eating plain foods for the past couple of days but i think another chicken and white rice will end me.

I'm mainly looking for meal ideals, condiments and actual flavours. I am UK based so if you have any particular products I could get at any supermarkets that's welcome too!

Additionally, how do you guys recommend reintroducing foods into my diet after my symptoms are cleared up, and which foods/ food groups should I start with?

Medical Procedure I need help to interpret my endoscopy

Upvotes

I did my colonoscopy and gastroscopy in April this year and I was dismissed by doctor to go home and try VSL Balance for 3 months. Im not getting better also my calprotectin is rising so I need some advice, what did my results mean.
From gastroscopy I have final sentence saying "
Dg.: Gastritis chronica atrophica abacterialis inactiva regionis antralis ventriculi"
And from colonoscopy
1."The morphological finding corresponds to a mild form of chronic ileitis with nodular hyperplasia of lymphoid tissue."
2. "The morphological findings for the biopsied regions correspond to chronic non-specific colitis."
My first calprotectin was 99, after 3 months of low FODMAP diet and probiotic its 311.
Am I being gaslighted by my doctor? Im waiting on second opinion in two weeks and my mind is spiraling.

Ps. I got in the whole endoscopy situation because I was having diarrhea for 6-8 weeks non stop and i lost 17kg and also have mucus like thing in stool.

Pss. I forgot to add no helico bacter or parasites.
