I called for a follow up, can't get in until November 13th. I will be talking to my family doctor and see what I need to do for a new GI. Almost 6 week wait? I can't wait that long. Inflammation spread 150% in 4 months. I wait too long and have a feeling I will end up having surgery

Glad you found us! This is a phenomenal board with tons of info and support. Feel free to ask any questions you need to, and remember this board is never TMI when it comes to poop questions

Unfortunately because she put in a requisition for a pill cam, I am stuck with her for a bit. Will depend on the response I get tomorrow when I call for a follow up. If she can't see me for a long time, or sloughs me off again, I will request to be discharged from her care and ask for an urgent...

Totally! It seems like everything is working, so it just keeps going :(

If it is unusual, I would go to the ER. They can at least put your mind at ease if it is nothing

My GI continued to insist its IBS and the inflammation means nothing. Well, fast forward to Friday morning. Woke up with bad pain and went to the ER. They did another CT scan and found I now have 25cms (almost a foot) of inflamed bowel, up from the 10 cms. ER doc and radiologist both say Crohns...

My GI has passed off my mucus as well :-( sorry you have to deal with a GI that doesn't listen. ((((Hugs)))

Waiting really sucks :( could still be months yet before I get a pill cam. Man I hate the wait times for healthcare in Alberta

I am here for ya if you need to vent. I too am trying to figure what is going on. There have been many on this board that have been misdiagnosed for years before getting answers. You are not alone in this! ☺

I actually decided to go into business for myself. I am part of an amazing network marketing company. I can work when I want to. Most of my work is follow up with customers to see how they are liking their products, which is something I can do while in bed if necessary. I do home presentations...

Thanks! My GI insisted that it didn't work like that. I am glad I'm not alone.

I Am so happy to find this group on here! I have been told by many, including my ex GI, that my symptoms can't be crohns because I am fat. Glad I'm not the only one :)

Does anyone else notice and increase in symptoms as the day goes on? I notice that I usually feel better in the mornings, but as I move around and do more active things my pain increases, sometimes my D increases. The more intense the activity, the more it can hurt by the end of the day. Makes...

Welcome! This forum has been a wealth of information and has been a huge help and support :D Just remember, when it comes to asking questions here, there is no such thing as TMI when it comes to poop ;)

Hi Cat, The request is in for the pill cam as far as I know. My GP, though sympathetic, can only do so much for me, because it's not his area of expertise. He has tried all the meds he's allowed to prescribe, and none seem to work. I love the fact that Canadian healthcare is free, but it really...

I saw my GI on Wednesday, well ex GI now. She said that there maybe, a little bit of IBD starting. She asked if the Pentasa helped, I told her no so she took me off of it. She told me the next step will be a pill cam, but that could be a wait of months and months. She then said she doesn't think...

Sorry to hear of the pain and frustration you are dealing with. Best thing about this board is the amount of support and info there is here! Don't ever feel as though something is TMI (too much info). We are here to answer all your questions to the best of our abilities :)

Chunks of the granules :-( my GI I'd on vacation at the moment

Why don't you work? I had a job, I loved it! I worked in the deli at a local grocery store. But I had to leave the job because it wasn't fair that I had to randomly rush off the floor to the bathroom and leave fellow workers on their own for 10-15 mins at a time, multiple times a day! (outside...

Ashjenn, you are certainly entitled to know the results of the tests. I don't get results here unless I ask for them
