Thanks Star You are right, I will go back to my GP after my colonoscopy next week. Just worried that as I was seen by the Gastro department, the doctor won't have anywhere else to refer me to. The only tablets I am taking are the anti sickness tablets as the GP is reluctant to give me anything...

Hi CWT Sorry to hear about your problems. I'm afraid I don't have any pearls of wisdom to offer, but you are certainly not alone! As various things keep showing up in your tests, it seems you would be perfectly right to go back to your GP (I'm guessing you are in the States and I am not sure...

Sorry to come in here and moan, but I am so frustrated at the moment. Had 6 weeks of diarrhoea, and some vomiting. Now I have diarrhoea once a week followed by constipation on the other days. I now get sharp pains in my joints. Blood tests and endoscopy are clear and I have a colonoscopy...

Just wondered, does anyone else get joint pains? My stomach symptoms seem so much better than last month, but now my joints are really painful! Not sure if this is something different or all related. I'm off to see the consultant next week so obviously I am feeling much better so she thinks...

Hi Aurora I've been on Colofac. Sorry, it didn't help me much, but I've not heard of any bad side effects and I think it is generally quite mild, so don't think it will do any harm taking it and you may find it helps. I've cut out wheat from my diet and have benefited from that. You may...

Hi All Looks like it has been a busy few days on here. Sorry Faye, sunshine1 and Solidsam, I have can't help at all with your questions, I've never heard of a fecal transplant and I've no idea how an ultrasound helps with a Crohn's diagnosis. Though I think it is just another way of looking...

Thanks guys for your advice, I think I will go for the sedation! Yeah, did have a very rough few weeks, and I'm still off work. I guess from reading other stories I am lucky to be seeing someone after 6 weeks, but when you are having these symptoms, I struggle that it takes so long to be...

Hi All. I just signed up today as I have been trawling the internet for help and advice (and scaring myself silly) trying to find information. I came across this site and it is so nice to find a support group for this. My story is similar to everyone else on here, the fear of not knowing what...
