UPDATE, possible diagnosis and possibly some promising research for Crohn's Hi everyone, So, on Friday, I received a call from the gastro dept. Turns out I have an intestinal amoebae, d fragilis, apparently. Lovely. So, for now I'm on Flagyl and I'll see what that does. I have a feeling...

Is the fact that I've seen vaginal bleeding (slight) after the colonoscopy further evidence of a fistula? The fact that my pain gets worse at times with movement does not seem to fit--thoughts, experience?

Oh, I understand, I just am not used to forums, and didn't know if they were going through, or if I should be posting differently so that people saw them. And I know that no one has answers necessarily, but more questions to consider and/or experience/support are great too. What I know is...

Many wishes to you on a diagnosis as well. I keep telling myself "but you don't want to have any of these things", but my brain quickly answers "but you have something!" Ugh. Hoping you get answers from your test asap.

Follow up re: recto-vaginal fistula and colonoscopy MBH, I've been thinking more about this one. I definitely have air that escapes from my V, but I never thought much about that. I did some reading on it, and like most things, it doesn't quite fit b/c I have no reason to believe that stool...

I'm back again. Not sure anyone is reading these, but oh well. Anyway, I just had a horrific experience. The staff preps me for the conscious sedation, and when I ask the nurse, just to make sure, the doc walks in. He says that I can do the procedure with no drugs if I want. Honestly, I...

Thanks again! Oh, and are there any specific things I should insist on when I talk to the Gastro? I'm really not sure what to expect from him at this point. I've asked my dh to come, even though he's crazy at work, because a). I think I'm more likely to be taken seriously, much as that sucks...

So nice of docs to treat us like freak shows. They honestly don't remember that we are human beings lying there a lot of the time. And ime, think we are too dumb to comprehend anything anyway. Thank you so much, btw. I will do that! I don't think I have a siggy yet, Christie (Upstate NY...

Hello all, I did a bit of reading on the forum last night, and my heart goes out to all of you. It also makes me wonder if maybe we are barking up the wrong tree again in looking into Crohns, as my symptoms are not near as bad as many of yours. I hope you don't mind me still asking the...
