I am new to this forum. Three years ago I had ischemic colitis. Last week it came back with a vengence. Terrible abdominal pain and diarreha and blood. They did a abdominal CT scan with
contrast, and it was confirmed. I wanted a colonoscopy done to see to what extent the damage
was. The doctor said the CT scan was enough to show I had it, I would feel more comfortable
if I had the colonoscopy to see just how bad it was. He told me to eat a bland diet for three days,
and he said it usually heals itself. My question is? Is a colonoscopy necessary once it is diagnosed
on CT scan. Also, I was thinking of drinking aloe vera juice to help with the healing. I ask you very
humbly for an answer.
Thank You
