Is colitis just a stomach ache or something more?
I had bad stomach pains with nausea, dizziness, sweats, chills, shaking.. and eventually diarrhea.. (after being constipated) I went to the ER and they did a blood test that showed high white count so they did a cat scan and saw my intestines were inflamed so they said i had colitis. Is that just a normal stomach ache with diarrhea? Or is that something more unique? I have IBS but this was the worst it's ever been! Im following up with a Gastro but just wanted some advice in the mean time.

NO. colitis is a chronic autoimmune illness. If you want to email me I have it to and I know pretty much everything about it but no you will be on medicine for the rest of your life. yes it can go in remission. and yes for some it isn't that bad. but colitis is when your immune system attacks your large intestine causing inflammation and bleeding and it can be extremely painful and has no cure. btw it's not a stomach ache the pain is in your large intestine not the stomach.
