Anyone else w/ IBD?

I've searched this forum high and low trying to find others (or recent posts) who may suffer the same issue.

I'm curious on what y'all do for treatment.

I've had a colonoscopy and everything is clear and healthy (thank God).

I can tell when a flare up is about to happen because I pass gas like crazy & it smells horrible!! My body temperature goes up a little. I feel weak and sometimes don't want to move or talk or do anything. This will usually last for a couple of hours and then I am glued to the toilet for what feels like forever.

I changed my diet to strictly plant based and I was fine for a month and a half. Until I decided to eat pizza with my kids (very stupid decision) about 2-3 weeks ago. My diet is already so restricted so I ended up adding eggs back into my diet (b/c I love eggs and they keep me full). I should also add that I had vsg weight loss surgery Nov. 2019 and these issues started Dec. 18, 2020 after eating some chicken that had been in the refrigerator for over a week. But it hasn't stopped. I have a follow-up appointment with my gastro doctor as he wants to run more tests but another doctor that I saw (colorectal surgeon) said it sounds like IBD but he couldn't officially diagnose it.

Any tips or advice for relief while I am waiting for my appointment next week?

Thanks♥️
