Oh, forgot to add that while I did have the D and cramping/bloating when on vacation I did NOT have the horrible abdominal pain that I usually experience. So , I assume the Dairy free living has helped somewhat! The loss of the extreme pain, IMHO, is a major accomplishment!:ybiggrin:

Thanks for the information Cat! :smile:The Dairy free diet has been going well. I love the Almond Milk and just found an ice cream made with Almond Milk (So delicious brand). Yay! On the other hand, I met with my Doc's Nurse practitioner yesterday. It did NOT go well. She wanted to discuss a...

Finally had the MRCP done! It came back normal as well! :ybatty: I am beyond frustrated at this point. My doc is supposed to get back in touch with me to decided what to do next. I have been off dairy products for 8 weeks now and I have had good results. I have only had to use the Lomotil 2...

Wanted to give an update. The MRI I am waiting for is MRCP. My GI is looking for gall stones or pancreatic issues. She states that although my gallbladder was removed our bodies can continue to create gallstones in the duct. :eek2: I will say that my stomach pain feels exactly like the pain I...

Well, the results from the Pill Cam came back normal!:confused2: I just don't get it. I am so bewildered! Every test I take comes back normal..yet my symptoms are obviously abnormal!!:ymad: My doc is submitting paperwork to get an authorization for some type of MRI next. I will have to drive to...

Cat, I had no idea it took so long to get the results from the pill cam. I guess I should be grateful that she is moving so fast. Yes, I would be relieved to finally have a diagnosis. Hoping the prep goes well today!

Oh, forgot to mention the fistula. I have been referred to a gynecologist to follow up with that because she believes it may be a vaginal fistula. More tests!!!!!

Hi everybody! Well I saw the doc yesterday and she stated that the last stool samples sent in showed elevated white cells/lactoferrin levels,which she says is yet another indicator of Crohn's disease. I will do prep for my pill cam tomorrow and no food after noon. (Oh such fun!) Then I will go...

Cat, I agree with you on those medications. I knew they were to treat IBS, which I knew would probably not help at all. Sure enough, they did not. The Hyoscyamine had a terrible side effect-terrible dry mouth!:yrolleyes: I heard from my Dr today and she wants me to pick up a prescription for...

Thanks for the advice danny'smom. I will certainly ask for the imaging if the pill cam shows nothing. :thumright:

Thank you Mehita! I just can't imagine living like this the rest of my life and just accepting it!There has to be a treatment, somewhere somehow. They did perform a biopsy with both scopes but both were normal. The endo showed signs of inflammation in my stomach. But I have not been treated with...

Cat-a-Tonic, thank you for your words of encouragement. I was embarrassed to even mention the possible fistula to my doc until this past week. Crossing my fingers that I will be able to identify what is causing all of this havoc soon!
