Fistula before being diagnosed?

[Anxious855]

I started with stomach cramps which left me only to be replaced by diarrhoea which turned bloody for a few days then returned to normal colour back in October. It went away for a while before I got hit with another 2 week bout of diarrhoea again over Christmas. Once again it has stopped but I am waiting to be seen by a GI.
My new symptoms now are upper stomach aches which come and go and bubbly urine. I have heard the bubbly urine can be a fistula symptom. Is it then possible to have a fistula before being diagnosed?

Everyone is different. I don't recall having bubbly urine with a fistula. I would wait for diagnosis by your doctor. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks. I am really scared I not only have crohns but also a complication such as a fistula/stricture

Hi Anxious855,

I'm not sure about bubbly urine, I have had multiple fistulas but nothing changed in regards to urine. I hope you get things under control soon. Be sure to go see a doctor sooner if you are worried about waiting too long to see the GI.


Regards,

Chris

You can definitely have something before being diagnosed especially when you have to wait so long to be seen by a specialist. Hopefully either your GI or regular general practitioner will test for any fecal matter in your urine to see if that's the cause which is very possible if you have a fistula connecting to your urinary tract or do a Cystoscopy (scope of your bladder). "Bladder and intestine: "vesicoenteric", "enterovesical", or "vesicointestinal" Bladder and colon: "vesicocolic" or "colovesical" Bladder and rectum: "vesicorectal" or "rectovesical.""
