Doctors can't determine if it's Crohn's Disease or IBS

[Zmurray]

I joined back in 2007, and I posted a few times back then before dissappearing for the last two years, but I've finally found my way back. Literally, I lost the link and wasn't sure where to go! lol

When I was last here I was in the midst of a number of tests in an attempt to find out if I have Crohns or not. As of yet I still have no idea. So far I've been told it's Crohns once and IBS twice, though no one is too sure yet from the sound of it.

I've sworn off doctors since my last test, a colonoscopy (long story), and things haven't gotten any worse or any better lately so who knows what the future will bring!

Anyways, I'm glad to be back as it's always refreshing to speak with others that have similar experiences

Thanks for the welcome back misscris!

You know I'm really not too worried about getting an answer anymore. I mean it would be nice, but i've reached the point now we're I'm just going to go it my own way for a bit and see what I can work out for myself.

I saw your last post, good luck with your first colonoscopy, they really arn't bad when you have a good doctor. You take a nap, they do their thing, and you wake up and it's all done! Plus you lucked out with the pills, i've done both those and the golytly, and I really prefer the pills when they're offered!

Anytime Z.

Good luck on your path of doing it your own way. I hope it works. I've been debating whether I really want to take medication or not, so I can see how you just decide to do what you want instead.

Thanks! I haven't had to have one before. I got diagnosed during a surgery, so didn't have to go through all the years of misdiagnosis or anything. From all I've heard, pills are the way to go. when I got the letter in the mail showing pills I was happy, thats for sure!
