Hi all
Well I'm a bit of an unknown to my drs/consultant. I have had on going symptoms of feeling sick, toilet issues and loss of appetite since I had my second child and she is now 4. At first my Drs just put it down to child birth and 'stress'. After constant visits to my local Drs, various blood tests and extreme weight loss they finally decided to refer me. I have had 2 endoscopes, 1 colonoscopy, and a capsule endoscopy with various biopsies taken, but the only two tests that showed any abnormalities have been the capsule and a stool sample. This has left my consultant very unsure as to if it is crohns. I have recently started a mild course of steroids (budesonide 3x 3mg) which I feel I have certainly noticed I am having better days, but still have the bad days.
I was wondering if anyone else started with similar symptoms and any advise on managing with crohns.
