doc says i have inflamed intestines????

doc says i have inflamed intestines????

last summer I had alot of test done because i get diarrhea at least 4 times a week a bad cramps all the time.
The tests I had done were blood test all came back normal,Colonoscopy came back normal, also a tube down my tube down my throat sorry i forgot what its called and took a biopsy of tissue and sad i have 2 small things that look like unlcers but are not ulcers not sure what that means all at.Small bowel X-ray where you drink that stuff that looks like a milk shake after a few days of looking at the x rays they told me i have inflammed intestines and thats the only answer i got of what is wrong with me.The only thing my gastro offered me was some pill for diarrhea but he said it could plug me up bad so i turned it down and keep taking imodium (immodium).Its so bad i cant work cause every day just about im running to the tolit.Does this sound like colitis at all?Im going to make an appot to go back and see the doc even though it was a year ago but i am wondering if that sounds like colitis at all to any of you?I mean why would i have 2 things that look like ulcer and diarrhea all the time if i dont have ulcerativ colitits.I really dont wana do all those tests over again i just wanna know what i have.what do you think?

I can't help you- i am new on here and seen your post because your systems are similar to my husbands.We have done all those tests as well that you have, and just came up with inflammed intestine or mild gastritis. But he doesn't have the diarrhea. Constipation is more of that issue. He has server pain all the time. It is unreal! He gets very tired-passes out if he sits after work on the couch, and when he has bad attacks he has bad headaches and he has to make himself throw-up just to get some relief from the stomach pain. He has gas and bloating, I have to push on his tummy so the gas may have a chance to move. And every so often his breath smells like sewer! Crazy- because it will be completely gone within 10-15 minutes! It just comes and goes. It is horrible for me to see. I cant imagine how it is for him and even for you evey day... I am just worn out from the expenses and no solutions. Tired and frustrated. And I am not the one who is sick with these issues. Good luck with someone being able to answer you. I hope the same for me! Best of luck!

I was diagnosed with IBS  20 years ago and it sounds like the same thing.  I have had all of the same tests and without Immodium daily, I had diarrehea after EVERY meal.  The only thing that has made a difference is a gluten free diet.  Have you tried that?
