Actually yes they found out I have potassium & magnesium deficiencies due to all of the vomiting and diarrhea. They're giving me some in my IV right now. I'm just on the verge of taring my hair out. My night shift nurse just came in & told me that it's likely I have Crohn's but they're not...

Hey Kerry, thank you so much for the reassurance! Because yeah I've never had a doctor that dismissed the severity of my condition when sick, especially when hospitalized (and I've never been hospitalized this long--> before this I've just had one experience and I only spent the night there to...

I forgot to mention that my other symptoms are extreme joint pain & also weight loss (I've lost close to 20 lbs this month since this "flare up"). How in the heck could this just be "severe IBS"? This is making me feel like I'm insane :(

I feel your pain so much :( I'm going through basically the same thing right now. I'm currently in the hospital and trying to switch GI doctors to get this figured out because my current one is a JERK and assumes I'm over exaggerating because I have mental illness, I'm in my 20's, and I'm a...

I've unfortunately been in the hospital for 4 days now. The reason? Well. I literally can't walk. I'm either constipated or having serious diarrhea / bloody / mucousy stools that are at times yellow or green. It's painful for me to urinate & attempt to do a BM. Horrible stabbing pain in my...

Well. I finally got into see a new GI doctor. It took me 4 trips to the ER this past month (2 of them were ambulenced) in order for my primary doctor to crack down and find me one that takes my insurance. They had previously diagnosed me with Crohn's due to intestinal inflammation, joint...

Well I've always been notorious for getting sick. When I was a child, I constantly had ear infections & the flu. In high school I got strep throat constantly (so yep been on a lot of antibiotics and meds like aspirin). I also had mono 5 times in my life, one time I had mono & the H1N1 virus...

Yeah I have a feeling I might have to see a dietician :-/ it's worth a shot anyways

Well I'll definitely check it out tomorrow if I have the strength to. It's been pretty hard for me to do anything really aside from basically just lying around -_- I think I'll honestly just live off of that stuff or ensure because lately almost every food is causing me pain / acid reflux /...

I've never even heard of that??? Can doctors prescribe it? And yeah I think you're right on the money with sugary drinks. This is all sucks lol I'm so new to it and ehhh it's confusing but IBD runs in my fam so I guess I should've expected this to happen.

Yeah I'm constantly dehydrated so I feel your pain :( I've noticed that coffee & soda really hurts my stomach like bad! Maybe I should stay away from fruit juices as well??

Hey, thank you so much for your input! I think I might try that. Luckily my primary doctor finally found a really good GI doctor I can see this Monday (thank the lord!!!) so I'll definitely bring up that diet to him. I've been losing a lot of weight since this relapse though :-/ I'm borderline...

Hey, thank you so much for responding! It's been horrible, especially the pain. I'm not used to having a severe Illness, so this is extremely new to me! The ER prescribed me pain meds and prednisone and the usual nausea meds (I've been vomiting a lot...seems like ANYTHING that contains fat...

I'm 24 years old & got diagnosed with crohns not too long ago--> back in April this year. It was very severe back then to where (TMI, apologies) I was having severe rectal bleeding due to chronic diarrhea. Luckily I haven't bled like that since the first time. They diagnosed me mostly through...
