what to do when one has severe symptoms of colitis or IBS or chrones... but no health insurance. the symptoms have been pretty consistent for the past three months and at times mean tripping to the bathroom 40 times per day but usually not for much more than the mucus, the urgency is there but not a lot of actual elimination. so without health insurance what gastro intestinal doctor will work with me? i have not the means for medical help. I just moved to Berkeley and called the free clinic but they have not the resources to test for this kind of disorder. I would be comfortable just to get diagnosed so I know what to do from there I can make educated decisions as to treament, but it could be any thing though it includes a feverishness in the colon, burning like ulcers, mucus, sometimes blood and tissue, frequent urgency and discomfort, at times sitting still is difficult, sitting is often painful or just uncomfortable and at times fell like ants in the pants, antsy and irritated down there.
