I've been sick for the past 3 1/2 years. When I initially became ill, I lost 30lbs within a month. Everytime I ate I would get a fever, nauseus (dry heaving soon followed), cramps and diarhea. Followed by horrible muscle aches and a rash.
It's better now, and I get flare ups like this every once in awhile, but struggle still with fevers, aches, and eating. I get terrible stomach aches and my right side swells right under my ribs which they thought was my galbladder but turns out not so.
Doctors say that they think it's Crohn's but can't pinpoint the imflammation so they can't diagnose or treat me, so they say I have "IBS/Crohn's".
Has anyone gone through this? Is there hope that I'll grow out of this, or get diagnosed so I can be treated?

Oh man do I feel your pain!!! I went for 7 years without being diagnosed with Crohn's, finally ended in the hospital for 10 days with a complete obstruction. Have you had a colonoscopy or small bowel follow through x-rays? If not and your dr. doesn't want to, ask to be referred to a gastroenteroligist. If he or she still won't, find a new dr. Having Crohn's undiagnosed for a long period of time can be very dangerous!! You can email me if you need more info.

in case you have been taken care of for it, then you definately might desire to recognize what meals to consume, and what to no longer consume, precise? So lay off the wheat and gluten products returned. Mthqt might desire to help plenty. additionally do no longer consume a brilliant sort of cheese, and different dairy products, the two those meals are famouse for coming up problems with crohns sufferers.
