I was on birth control for years before my crohn's diagnosis without any problems. Since my diagnosis my period has been very irregular while on birth control.

I don't have experience with your other condition, so I can't really comment on that, but I wanted to say that my crohn's is similar (constipation, no weight loss). I think, at least for me, that's why it went undiagnosed for so long. I would call your doctor and see if they can make a...
