Crohns and IBS

[ronroush7]

For those of you with Crohns and IBS,how do you know the difference? My doctor's office doesnt think I am experiencing a flare and told me to take Levsin when i experience pain. I am sorry if I am asking too many questions.

I guess if the Levsin works... It never did for J. I hope it does for you.

They are saying if the enterography shows active disease they will probably send me back to John Hopkins.

Ugh, sorry you are dealing with this Ron. I wish I could tell you the difference between the 2. I think the IBS is a functional thing, like muscle spasms, etc. Where our disease is inflammation. Both can cause a lot of pain. Keep us updated and let us know what is happpening

Thanks all.

I think what kero said is it in a nutshell. There is more to it obviously but thats the basics. Hope you get some relief Ron
