Don't be nervous. There are many different types of colitis; colitis just means inflammation of the colon. Ulcerative Colitis (UC) is the kind most talked about on this forum, and has its own sub-forum: http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=69
But there other kinds, some temporary. Once they've determined the type you have, your doctors should know the best course of treatment for you, and hopefully your symptoms will improve.

Hi Crackel, welcome to the forums.

I am exactly in the same position as you are. I have come from 'constipation' (just hard stools, rather than not being able to go', to the complete other end of completely loose stools. Admittedly, I am having the gurgling today, and I've tried to eat more (appetite lost) and it's still going! I have had all of those tests like you, but nothing has been shown (only low lymphocytes - which wouldn't make sense!), but I am now awaiting my appointment with the GI like you and I too, feel nervous!

Best wishes to you.
