My wife found out about ten days ago that she has colitis. She had stomach pain, diarrhea and nausea. For a long time before this she has had abdominal cramps etc. But never was told she had colitis. She went to the ER ten days ago with a bad case of diarrhea. They took some blood and gave her a CT when she was there. The blood test showed the liver numbers high. The CT scan showed she has colitis. She was put on two meds. One being Cipro and some other antibiotics. But after ten days she still is have the abdominal pain, diarrhea and her skin is yellow to real white. She cannot leave the house. She must be near a bathroom at all times. What can we do? Does last forever? Does the diarrhea go away? Can a CT show she has it? Could it be bad food? She is to see her PCP doctor in about two week. I told to call now because of the color of her skin. Liver problems, too? This is all new to us. She is 67 Years old. She a non-drinking, non-smoker and walks every day. Jack
