IBD suspected

I had just come back from a vacation 9 /8/22 we had eaten out a lot and on our way home I started feeling off. I felt bloated every time I ate and my stomach hurt. I felt like I had to go but nothing would come out. Same on Tuesday and Wednesday I had diarreah. I had no cramping and didn't feel it till it was too late and had to leave work. Ever since then i have had loose bowel movements. I have been eating bland. After Wednesdays events I went straight to urgent care where they did a CT scan and saw diffuse inflamation of my large intestines. They install thought possibly viral but also asked if I had anyone with IBD in my family or Chrons. None that I know of. I have been out of work since then. They put me on Dicyclomine which helps. I have seen small improvements. My stomach and stuff doesn't hurt as much anymore and I can eat bland foods. But still have loose stool. Prior to this I had been having problems with constipation. I have had it on and off my whole life but recently it was getting worse. So I looked at my diet and though more fiber should help. It did help and kept me moving but still someone on the constipated side. I have an appointment tomorrow with my doctor. I am very scared of an IBD diagnosis. I know it increases your chances of cancer by like 4. This scares me so much. Both my parents died of cancer ( Lung &Mouth). So being both parents carried the gene I am petrified. I also had three cats with IBD. One of which was cancerous. It's so bad they say that reducing stress is key yet I am more stressed out then ever. I just need to hear positive stories of people living long full lives with IBD. Since my whole ordeal I have lost 10lbs. I think mainly because i cant est snything with any real calories. All I have experienced in my life I am now petrified. 😫 but I am willing to donwhat it takes if that means having a strict diet cutting out all sugars, gluten etc. What ever.
