How To Treat Flare Up Following A Bout Of Colitis?
Hi, I was in the hospital for almost a week (several months ago) with my first bout with colitis. The type I have starts with an I can t remember the name. Seem to be having a small flare up now. Should I call my doctor for medications? He never said anything to me about taking them when I was released from the hospital. Thank you in advance. I am a very active 66 yr old woman. The thought of having to deal with this embarrassing condition is very depressing. Robbie

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
IN the given situation of Yours, seem to suffer from-IBS with flare up.
This could be from food induced infections.With street food you have high chances to have its recurring bouts.
Other causes like Crohn's diases,IBD,Ulcerative Colitis,perianal fissure/proctitis and need to be ruled out by Second opinion with Physician and Surgeon.
Treatment-
Would be with bland diet/Avoiding street fast foods/Avoiding spicy,fried,nonveg diet/Yoghurt helpings a day/Butter milk a day/
Antibiotics/anti-spasmodic/anti-protozoals/Gastro-prokinetic with PPI if need be , would resolve IBS with colitis and acid reflux with it.
This plan would reduce your anxiety of flare up after Colitis.
Hope this would help you to plan further of this complex illness of yours.
