Thanks to both of you! And Orchid, yes, I have done fecal inflammation tests. Those were sketchy - at the time my results were at a 130, I was on 4 mg of Apriso daily, Entocort, and had just stopped Methotrexate because of the side effects. Another question, if anyone has any answers - from...

I've had all of those tests run too with nothing that was ultra-positive. It could still be out there though hiding from biopsy probes and scopes. I like to imagine it kind of like the guys on the Mucinex commercials but with giant teeth like the fish in Finding Nemo with the light on it's...

Hey there, with you on the fatigue-malaise thing. For awhile (granted, I was far from any sort of flare up so I was feeling much better anyway) I was on some heavy duty Vitamin D cause my levels were low and I didn't feel as tired during that time period. If your doctor hasn't done any blood...

Hi! I was sent to this forum from the "My Story" section (lots more details about me on my post there that I won't bother you with now), and I just wanted to ask a general question. Is there anyone on here that is sans diagnosis and dealing with the ups-and-downs of "whatever this is" in...

My first GI ran just about every test (including two colonoscopies and 3 upper GI scopes and an impedence probe for GERD) she could think of and never gave a definitive answer, which I understood. However, we were not pleased with the fact that she seemed to forget who I was between very rare...

So I've had lots of tests. All the tests I think possible, actually. I've been dealing with gastrointestinal issues for about 2 years now and I'm now at my second GI, whom I really like. He decided (after my first GI couldn't make up her mind and had me on everything from Prednisone to...

Hello! I feel as if we are in a similar situation. I have also been diagnosed with IBS, as my symptoms lasted with no real rhyme or reason and have been put on Fluoxetine (Prozac) to treat that. It has certainly helped with the urgency and has helped me to feel more in control of the...

Hi Emily! I'm also new here :] I haven't been diagnosed, but I just wanted to add that I definitely notice my symptoms getting worse when I'm worried or stressed (which happens much too often :P). Also, I love Dr. Who and Once Upon a Time too!

Hi! Thanks so much for your reply. All of my tests, except for the initial scope, were done after treatment with Apriso and Budesonide. I did have several calprotectin tests done, and none were at what my doctor called "Crohn's level" (160-170). My highest was 130, but that was on...

Hi! I'll give as much detail as possible in my story, though it's kinda long, so anyone who might answer has enough info to go on. As a kid, I was never super healthy. I always had problems with my gut (lactose intolerant, H. Pylori) and suffered chronic sinusitis, even had surgery to try to...
