Hi! I did depending on what I ate really. My problem has been an abscess and fistula which made me to scared to eat for about 3 months. xx

Really? Not good, I think the problem with uc an cd isn't the disease itself, its the complications that come with it xx

Definitely! I've been unable to work for over a year because of this. So not only is there pain, there's soo much stress! Have you got CD or UC?

Well, uve had strong symptoms for over 10 years now, an they been tellin me its gastritis, but because I keep 'flarin' now there sayin they think its crohns and I'm waitin on an appt to see the GI. What do u have and what are ur symptoms? Xxx

Ouch =\ I hope they finally get you a diagnosis. I found that I was terrified of what it could be until I got mine. Mainly because my grandma died from bowel cancer. I've got Crohn's. Started off with loads of mouth ulcers which I just put down to stress. Then soon developed a peri-anal abscess which had a fistula. Had that drained 3 times before they realised it was Crohn's and done an ileostomy. I lost a lot of weight, could barely move, blood in my stools, constantly tired. I've tried not to remember what it was like before I had my ileostomy. I was in a pretty dark place and the thought of being back there terrifies me. What are your symptoms?

Omg ...... That serious?? Just from a few mouth ulcers? Well when I was around 15 I kept gettin like dull tummy aches nothin major I just pput it down to period pain an what not, then it was gettin more severe and I was rushed to ane a few times in that year, (must of been flare ups I was gettin but didn't know then) kept bein sick an diarhea couldn't eat lost loadsa weight, same again, that was goin on for around 8 years, the pain would be so bad I would have seizures, fits, pass out .. All sorts, they did cameras when I was 16 an said its just inflammation and prob 'gastritis' I'm 25 an still gettin these flares, sore when I have a BM, sometimes bleed but its fresh blood when it happens so I think there's a tear or something maybe?? The main part of my symptoms is stomach pains, that can get really bad, I get a lot of nausea, migraines too. Which I have now and its awful, the pain is usually across the navel area and above an sometimes radiates down the left side. And I get a feeling of tablets food etc being stuck. Xx
