Hey everyone! I have been dealing with symptoms for about 4 years now, I am currently 20 years old. The main symptoms I have are severe diarrhea, constipation, pain during bowel movement and blood occasionally. I went to my regular doctor last Monday for all of these symptoms, she told me she thinks it's Crohn's Disease and is sending me to a GI doctor in 3 days. She told me to research Crohn's and to compare my symptoms to what I read. The more I read about it the more I am convinced that I suffer from this disease, but I have to wait until Monday to find out.
So my questions are, does everyone have stomach pains with this disease? Is it only when you are going to the bathroom or all the time? I have stomach pains during but not all the time. I can't remember the last time I had a normal bowel movement, so if it is not Crohns then what is it? I am constantly stressing about whether or not I am going to make it to the bathroom. I really just want some answers and someone to put a name to it so I can start taking medicine and change my lifestyle to feel better about it. I made a list of all the things I cannot eat because they really upset my stomach and there was alot on my list which is really upsetting because I love food!
