PLEASE HELP!!! Frustrated

I am a 26 year old female and have been having stomach issues for about 7 years.  My senior year of high school I lost alot of weigh because I was going to the bathroom so much.  I often had bloody stool.  I went to my doctor and had a colonoscopy and he told me I had IBS.  I tried a few different medicines and nothing seemed to help.  Two years ago I have horriable pain from my lower left side of my stomach and would pass out.  It was so bad I was rushed to the hospital and was admitted for 11 days.  While in the hospital the doctor did two colonoscopys, xrays, and cat scan.  The doctor told me she was 99% sure I had Crohns disease.  She put me on steriods and I was released.  She later told me the test for Crohns was inconclusive.  I then started going to a new doctor and he said he was sure it was IBD but after a few tests and failed medicine he told me "it was my A type personality".  I found a new doctor who is supposed to be the best in my state and he said he was 99% sure it was colitis and put me on asacol.  The medicine worked for 10 months and has now stopped working.  I was hospitailized for 5 days and he proformed a coloscopy, endoscopy and both were inconclusive.  He now say I do not have Colitis.  I also did a camera pill and am waiting on the results.  I can't handle being told again that the doctors have no idea!!!!

You need to find a good quality probiotic like Theralac.  I have UC and I'm now in remission.  Last year, it got worse and my doctor put my on Asocol.  That medicine was horrible.  I was bending over in pain but I kept taking it because I thought I was going to get better.  Well, I didn't.  I kept reading as much as I could and then discovered Dr. Blaylock's Newletter.  He recommended Theralac.  The first pill I took I felt better.  The deep pains stopped and within two weeks I was better.  It took about 3 months to get into remission.  I now take Theralac once a day and I'm normal.  Be sure to watch your diet and find the foods you can eat and avoid all processed foods and limit your sugar.  Eat only fresh veggies and lean meats.  Also, avoid soft drinks.  Good luck!

Wow! My sympathies.

Are the results "inconclusive" as in "a) we don't think you have any kind of inflammation" or more b) "yeah, you're sick, but we're not sure which IBD you have"?
