Am I the only one who found it awful? Mine was extremely painful even though I was sedated .. Now I'm wondering if its because I had some narrowing .. But they seemed in a rush and very bulshy so didn't even explain anything other than 'inflammation' .... Its true though the prep is the worst...

Hey cupcake (lol love the name) yeh that's what I'm worried about they are saying they think its upper gi crohns but what I'm worried about is the ranatadine and omeprazole I'm on will cover it up and they might think nothing is there when I come to having scopes, also I'm worried if I stop them...

Thanks trysha, very very helpful, I just hope they don't 'mask' the problem an then gives doctors an excuse to say 'there's nothing there' but yes I've heard they only work on the stomach. X

I been addicted to codeine for 5 years now, as it got prescribed when stomach problems started .. Its awful and extremley hard to come off especially when you keep flaring up, how are u now?

Hiya, well I'm diagnosed as 'gastritis' at the moment but keep having bad flare up of pain and diarhhea and sickness, the pain is awful sometimes I just feel like I can't do it anymore. But as its been so long and I keep relapsing on omeprazole they are now looking into it further ... He said...

Just wondering if anyone knows the real truth to this, my doctor said for me to get more cameras done I will need to come off omeprazole and ranatadine as they won't find anything? But if I come off them I always go into a flare up an I'm not so sure if he's right?

Haha @p mickey, yeh I can sympathise .......... I wouldn't want to sit there and chew on a clove of garlic, plus the fact nobody would go near you for a few months! Lol, its seems as though its only cameras that diagnosis IBD, I haven't yet come across anyone who has said they got diagnosed...

That's so true!!! You do know your body that's why I'm convinced after all this time there's something doing this to me ... I'm not sick for no reason I don't wake up praying to god to give me stomach pains that double me over an stop me being a 'normal' mum, something is doing this an I'm not...

Thanks patti, maybe it was gastritis when it first started? And as it has progressed it has lead onto something deeper. I am getting a second opinion now, as I sad the uk are crap for diagnosing. My sister has the same symptoms but not as severe but as soon as she says kay I got tummy ache she...

Thanks for all your replys, I feel for everyone as even gastritis is extremely painful so I can't imagine what your all going through, for years I have been told its gastritis and duodenal ulcers (without it being looked into) I had cameras done when I was 15 I am now 25 and they said then it...

symptoms hey again everyone .... Really curious to know what peoples symptoms were when UC or CD first started and even now? Does anyone else have upper abdominal pain? Thanks x

Hiya thanks for ur reply. I know, its not acceptable how they can fob stomach pain off. No its def more than indigestion. I've had raised blood cells and all sorts.

I'm used to it been on co codamol for about 10 years! It don't even really help anymore? No my doc has never mentioned that to me what it is? How did u get diagnosed?x

Really? I'm on omeprazole 20mg twice daily, ranatadine 150mg twice daily, beta blockers anti depressents and co codamol 30/500 regular. Otherwise paon os not managable.

painkillers Hiya Is anyone else on regular strong painkillers? :shifty:

Thank u very much :) yes it is frustrating I'm wondering what could be wrong its obviously something but in the past I have been told 'its nerves' and 'in my head' I've lost count of the amount of times I've been in hospital, its affecting my daily lifestyle and my sons. I will keep you updated! X

Also when it starts up I can be sick for anywhere between 5 - 10days at a time, relapses can last from weeks to months, its been so bad I've had fits and seizures from the pain and most times it flares for no reason

symptoms and diagnosing ... crohns :( Hi everyone, I'm new to this so I will start from the beginning without taking up the whole page lol. I'm 25 now, but when I was 15 I was admitted to hospital with chronic stomach pain at the top, I mean it was so severe I was screaming the hospital down...
