Either way, don't expect the steroids and super aspirin type drugs to be any fun. Don't expect standard pain meds to help with intestinal pain, the only thing they do is make you so out of it that you care less about the pain. Alcohol, hard alcohol, maybe just wine, can help. Try a shot or two of something other than whiskey.The 5 hour delay on your reaction to the pizza definitely indicates it is your colon, not your S. I. the ulcers in your stomach were probably a separate issue that popped up at teh same time. Over 90% of stomach ulcers are caused by a bacterial (or is it viral) infection, so now most stomach ulcers are now cureable.Also stay away from soda and caffeine. As for food try soups for a few days, see if that improves anything. By soups I mean tomato soup and chicken soup and any others you like that are mostly broth, very little to nothing of anything else. Also make sure you are drinking 8 glasses of simple water EVERY day. This is probably more important that you realize.All my advice is based on experience. IE I have been there and done that. People vary, so there is no assurances that what helped me will help you.Good luck, I hope you keep your stomach parts.</blockquote>
