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....

You're lucky you don't also have fructose intolerance :))
