I'm new to colitis, but was diagnosed with ischemic colitis last year for the first time after a hospital visit.

Well, it happened again yesterday. I'm still mostly unfamiliar with the whole thing, but it absolutely sucks.

Question: how long does it take to stop shitting straight blood? This sucks.

Thanks.

EDIT: Seems to have stopped almost exactly 24 hours after it started. Cool.

The pain becomes mild discomfort and minor cramping around the 48 hour mark.

EDIT 2: Watermelon will save you life for both food and hydration.

But dumb fuck that I am, I felt the dire need for chips and salsa con queso today. It's like I never learn! Fuckin' idiot....

Ok, first of, I'm sorry you're dealing with this

Second, I'm sorry that my sense of humor is what it is, because

Absolutely alcohol whatsoever

in context, is absolutely hilarious.

(I know you likely intended to say "Absolutely no alcohol whatsoever", but please don't edit your comment)
