Some kinds of bacterial infection can cause colitis. Have you been treated with good anti-biotics? Not just a Z-pack?

Maybe try to convince the doctor to give you some antibiotics, and see if it helps? At least it would narrow down the possibilities.

Don't give up hope. It can take some time with gastro diseases to be properly diagnosed. Same with auto-immune disorders. It took me loosing 23 pounds in 4 weeks for a doctor to take me seriously. I had previously been given every other reason under the sun as to why I was in the w/c every 3 hours. Ask for second opinions or another doctor to check your charts. I had a doctor tell me I probably had lupus, to find out I just have fibromyalgia. Keep a journal of symptoms, food, activities, trips to the w/c. Look for patterns, or no pattern... good luck!!
