I have a 15 year old daughter with Crohns disease or UC. Next month they are doing another colonoscopy to determine which one.
My other daughter has been having GI symptoms as well, but not similar to daughter with Crohns.
Several years ago she was having migraines. We have those under control but then she started to get major acid in her stomach. She is currently on Prilosec but suffers with major nausea, upset stomach, extreme burping, tiredness, and now gets headaches almost everyday. We have done blood tests for iron deficiency, chem screen, sed rate, tested for ciliac disease: all good. We did a GI xray work-up which showed no inflammation. We are going to do a H. Pylori stool test tomorrow.
The doctors have said she doesnt have acid reflux, no sign of crohns, and put her in the IBS category. She eats very healthy.
If the h. pylori comes back negative, our next step may be a endoscopy.
please give advice. She has not felt well for a few years and we need to get her well.
thank you
