Hi Dr S.N. Grief, Around 2001 I experienced a much less common colitis (apparently and according to the treating Specialist at North Shore Private Hosp., Northern Sydney. (I, unfortunately don t recall the specific name of it). (It seemed that i had picked up a stomach bug during a few days in Hospital when I d had foot surgery). Since early February this year, I have been intermittently experiencing similar symptoms to those i had early on, leading up to the colitis diagnosis. Diarrhoea, a bloated type of stomach discomfort and some lethargy. (I m now 71). I haven t yet presented to a Physician (and will v soon) but i m wondering if this is the same, or similar thing come back? Your comments will be much appreciated. Thank you, Roslyn
