I'm a 27yo/Female and am yet to be diagnosed with crohns but have been suffering with symptoms for at least 3 years. This is my second major flare up in a little less than a year and I've been experiencing extreme cramping and diarrhea after eating anything. The pains seem to be an all day long thing though this time around and now I'm entering a bout of constipation...I just feel lousy, sore, exhausted, dehydrated and just feel like complete hell. I'm scared to eat almost anything because I feel there's going to be hell to pay during and afterwards. I've also been encountering rectal bleeding and bloating along with mucous in my stool. Weight loss...loss of appetite nausea and serious intestinal noises...loud ones. It's agony. In the last three years my GP has medicated me and diagnosed me with GERD, IBS etc just to name a couple and tried to medicate me all to no avail. I feel like I'm dying. He's finally now started the testing for crohns (took long enough and a lot of torture on my behalf to do so) I just completed the blood work today and am in process of completing FOBT which should be done and returned to lab tomorrow and awaiting hospital for image testing.... but in the mean time I could really use some input on whether or not I'm experiencing typical symptoms of IBD or whether sounds like something else and also what gives when it comes to what I can eat without misery later and why so hard to stay hydrated..I have to drink so much water lately... thanks in advance.Sam
