Crohn's Disease Or Something Else? Please tell me your symptoms or thoughts or answers?


I have been sick for 3 years, at first the doctors told me it was my Gallbladder, So I had it removed. Then it was Ulcers, then Acid reflex, and now Gastritis.
They have tried to make me better but nothing has worked. on Nov 16th I go in for a colonoscopy and an endoscopy, I am hoping they can find the real problem.
Before I eat anything I have burning in my stomach and it aches, So I eat, then 20 to 30 minutes after eating I get Abdominal pain, and cramping, then comes the Diarrhea. After I go Diarrhea i then go lay down with pillows under my stomach. I normally have Diarrhea 2 to 5 times after every meal. I also get a low fever around 99.4 to 99.9. if i dont eat then I dont get a fever, but when ever I eat I get it. Does anyone have some of the same problems? Could it be Crohn's Disease? Or something Else? Please tell me your symptoms or Cures or answers. Thank You!!!

I am seeing a Gastro Doctor now.

I wish I could help you with the problem but seems I have the same thing, have had for 3 years, the cramping in stomach and burning my docs say is Irritable bowel syndrome, I have chronic. The cramps feel like rocks moving in stomach and fever hits instant. I cannot hold a normal job due to the chronic diarrea, within 10 min after I eat it starts and it dont matter what I eat. I have lost over 30 pounds, am on 7 meds a month but they dont know whats wrong under my rib.
I get pains under right rib, pains in my lower back that shoot and throb up to my shoulderblade. They thought gallbladder, but tests show normal, had the throat scope and colonoscopy and it showed normal. Still have problem but worse now I lost medical and have no meds. I still think it is gallbladder, I have 5 family members who have had same symptoms and same tests all showed normal but then it was gallbladder when they looked exploratory. I wish you luck I know how stressful it is knowing you have pain and others keep saying your normal when you know its far from it. Please email me if you find any answers, as I will do the same.

this sounds very serious, you should get a second opinion from a specialist, this isnt the place for you

If it is chrons disease there is research going on at the moment using intestinal worms as a cure, it gives the confused immune system something to attack. this approach may help you

there are many articles on the Net related to this, type "worms" and "chrons" into a search engine
