Also my weight is going down. I had been diagoned with colitis but just based on symptoms and no tests had been done. Is it really colitis?. What are the food precautions for the same.

Hi

Thanks for your query.

Noted the history and understood the concerns. Colitis, in your case was a clinical diagnosis on the symptoms of loose motions, need to go for stool after food, pain after food , loss of weight and so on as noticed by you.
I would advise you the following in such a situation to get a proper diagnosis so that a proper management and cure is possible.
Get the stool tests done for three consecutive days.
Tests of blood for CBC, thyroid, liver and others.
Ultrasonography of abdomen. CT scan if indicated or advised.
Colonoscopy and biopsy.
All these will help for correct diagnosis and helps to have a plan of management.
Avoid all the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the problems.
Control of stress and anxiety.

Take Care
