Colitis

Well, you have a couple of ways to go to cure this. The first way is to post a question on a chatroom, but you tried that, and it hasn't cured it. As a last resort, you could try going to a doctor. I believe they have better things than leeches and hot cups for curing things. Now, because you think I am poking fun at you because you do not have medical coverage and thus think you can't see a doctor, most towns have a clinic that charges on a sliding scale based on what you can pay. If you can pay nothing you pay nothing. These clinics are often affiliated with the local hospital, so that might be a good place to start. MOst hospitals are stocked with eager volunteers who know of these places. If all else fails, of course, you go to the hospital. I suppose some are totally for profit enterprises, but both our hospitals have big plaques right in the lobby that say you have the right to be treated regardless of whether you can pay or not. So be treated, and get well. Good Luck Phil Colitis is not contagious. You have nothing to worry about.

To diagnose ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, healthcare providers may perform several tests, including colonoscopy, which allows direct visualization of the colon and biopsy samples, and imaging studies like CT or MRI scans to assess inflammation and complications. Blood tests can help identify anemia or inflammation markers, while stool tests may rule out infections and assess for inflammation. In some cases, endoscopic procedures may be employed to obtain tissue samples for further analysis.
