    New to Imuran

    Is it Crohn's?

    Hello, I am new here. A bit of history, I am a 45yr old female. I have suffered with what has been deemed IBS for many years. The bloat and pain has been insufferable so many times. The constipation was also extreme for more years than I can remember. About 3yrs ago, I went 100% gluten free...
