    Chronic Inflammation of Colon

    I am not diagnosed but have been dealing with this for over 18 months now. I posted on here about 4-5 months ago before my first colonoscopy and that revealed inflammation but was thought to be due to medication. I was taken off the medication but not much got better. So I was brought in for...

    Miralax Prep

    Hi, I am going for a colonscopy/endoscopy tomorrow and I took 2 ducolax at 3:30pm and then drank half of the prep at 5:30pm and am supposed to take the next half at 10pm. So far, I haven't had any urge to use the bathroom at all, is that normal? I don't have a diagnosis other than...

    Stomach pains after pill camera?

    For those that had the pill camera...did you have stomach pains the following day? I don't have crohn's but do have ulcerations in my terminal ileum and inflammation as seen on a colonoscopy so they did the pill camera yesterday. I was fine yesterday but today I am having waves of wicked...

    Desperately need advice

    I have posted numerous times but this is a new one for me. I have Lupus and since July 2010 I have been on Cellcept which had stabilized my Lupus and was wonderful. However, in March 2011 I started with daily diarrhea that got worse over time. I was told it was IBS but after starting to get...

    So embarrased but need to ask

    Last night I went to bed around 10:30 and had a bout of diarrhea (nothing new for me) and then was awoken with a huge urgency at 2:00am with another bout of diarrhea, again nothing new. Well, as I was getting out of bed and running to the bathroom I noticed that my bed and I was already covered...

    Guess it was wishful thinking!

    I had a colonoscopy done last Thursday and it showed multiple ulcers in my terminal ileum along with something about chronic mucosa throughout the entire colon. My GI took multiple biopsies of the ulcers and the mucosa and said to follow-up with her in 5-7 days. I called yesterday as it was 6...

    Is this normal?

    I don't have an IBD diagnosis but I had a colonoscopy yesterday and they took multiple biopsies of the ulcers in my terminal ilieum that they found and also the "congested mucosa" that they found throughout my "entire colon" and I am in much more pain then I normally am. Is this normal? When I...

    Multiple ulcers found in terminal ilieum

    I had the colonoscopy today and multiple small ulcers were found in my terminal ilieum and mildly congested mucosa was found throughout my colon. She took a lot of biopsies and I need to follow up in 5-7 days but was wondering if any of the above findings meant anything. Thanks.

    CT Angiogram of the Abdomen

    Have any of you had this test performed? I haven't been diagnosed with Crohn's yet but it is suspected and my doctor is doing a colonoscopy on Thursday and I have to go for a CT angiogram on Saturday. If neither of these reveal anything then I need to have the pill camera. I've had a regular...

    Any suggestions on colonscopy prep?

    I have to go for a colonoscopy on Thursday and I am not afraid of the colonoscopy but am terrified of the prep. She has me doing the miralax prep which has me taking 2 dulcolax at 4pm (which is fine) but the part that I am afraid of is drinking 32 oz at 6pm and then again 3am. I can barely drink...

    Autoimmune Enteropathy?

    Was this ever mentioned to any of you? I just got home from my GI doc and my lab tests are showing that antibodies are attacking my colon. It is a somewhat rare disease but is somewhat not surprising since I do have Lupus. She has scheduled me for a colonoscopy next Thursday where she plans...

    Mucus question

    This is really gross but what does it mean when bowel movements are just tons of mucus and no stool? I have been having tons of pain that I am doubled over with and my diarrhea that used to be 3-7 times of day is now down to just once or twice a day but I am having at least one or two times...

    Mouth Ulcers

    I was able to get a somewhat decent picture of the mouth ulcer that I have in my mouth...is this what they generally look like when they are related to crohn's? I've had it for over a week and it just seems to be getting bigger. Thanks.

    Would you contact your doctor?

    I'm in the process of getting a diagnosis and Crohn's is a possibility. I just switched to a new GI doctor about 3 weeks ago after seeing another doctor for over a year and him saying it was IBS. When I saw the new GI doc she asked if I had any mouth sores. At the time, I didn't. About a...

    Mouth sore

    What do they look like? In the past I have gotten a few very small white spots in my mouth due to my lupus but earlier this week I woke with a sore in my mouth that us killing me. It feels like a hole and is bigger than the lupus ones I have gotten. It is whitish with a red ring around it. It...
