Hi friends,
I dont know how to start. I never heard of this disease before. never knew something like this existed before. I am 23 years old energetic guy living in kolkata, India. Life was so cool until last yuear when I started having a lot of gas in my stomach,heartburn and breathing problems. started taking medicines for gas but it didnt help..constant pain in the chest due to gas lead me to belive I had heart problem for which hudred of tests including ct scan,holter ecg were done..everything came fine. But still the pain didnt go away and always had the bloated stomach. after suffering for 1 year with that and no clue of what I was suffering from..finally went to a gastroenterologist who confirmed after an endoscopy and a colonoscopy that I had an easophageol ulcer and Infalmatory bowel desease...my biopsy report said Infalamatory bowel desease compatible with crohn;'s desease.
My doctor diodnt tell me what exactly it was but said I'll be fine in a year after taking medicines (perhaps he didnt want to upset me).
What really amazes me is that i had no basic symptoms f crohn's desease.
I never had dirrhea, vomiting, nausea or stomach ache or cramp. the only thing sI experienced was bloated stomach, gas and pain in the chest area due to gas. That sit.
currently I am on pentasa 500 mg ( 2 tablets 3 times a day ).
also my eosinophil counts was high (20%) for which I am also taking other medicine.
I am supposed to go to canada for a two years study course, and suddenly this has happened to me. I dont know wether I should cancel my tour or go ahead with it as i dont know whats in stire for me in the future.
I would like to know from the foru members that I have seen so many ads and claims on the internet that Crohn's desease can be treated some natural products and also diet and lifestyle changes..are those stories true ?
very depressed at the moment. feel like suicidal.
