Hi everyone
I am writing this in sheer desperation, as I am at my wits end not knowing what to do or how to help my 21 year old daughter, I will start out from today and go back in time, my daughter just returnedd from a weekend ski with her friends, I think they ate cheese, eggs, salads, meats while there, everything was home cooked,. Today 15/8/12 my daughter mentioned that she was having stomach pains and that her stools were green but normal, she has started taking vitamin D 100IU as she is low, she usually takes it before going to bed even though they say to take it after dinner, but did not take it while on her holiday instead I gave her Centrum Advance _ organge coloured, multivitamin, so I cant see why her stools have turned green, she eats mixed salads with a mayonase dressing quite a bit, and has had it before too, but that has never given her green stools, however when she said that she felt like going to the toilet when she had the pain, but instead sent out some gas and said that the pain went, it looks like it comes and goes and it is almost 5 days for today in having green stools and I dont know what the cause is she is refusing to go and discuss about her stools with the docotr so I am looking for any advise.
It all began on May 14th 2012
Well she used to get stich like pains on left side of stomach since 2010 did a abdominal ultrasound in Sept 2010, everything was reported as normal. She has had yearly normal blood test since 2008, she was stated as anemic and I thought it was low in iron but the docotr said that her iron is on normal to barder line 7-8 australian standard but hera
29th May ’12, had severe bloated feeling, cramps/pain above naval and bottom of chest (in between stomach and bottom of chest), she had the same episode on 14th May ’12 but was with friends she also had her periods but said that that was not the same pain she get when she has her monthlies which is on the lower abdoment, it was the bloated, crampy, gassy feeling,pain her friends found her coiled in the ladies room and gave her panadol rapid after four hours the pain left, only to come back the next day but she did not mention it to me until the 29th of July where she was asked by another doctor to go to emergency,after 4 hours waiting to see a doctor, said IBS and sent home no treatment, or blood test done until I went to my GP the next day as the pains were still there, she gave her a boscopan injection and 2 gavascons and the pain, cramp and bloating were relieved, she wanted her to get another CT scan, she had barium oral contrast she needed to drink the liquid a certain amount in one hour and another amount in the next hour, instead she took 45 mts to drink the first lot and another 45 for the next lot, this time they said there were patchy calcification in liver everything else seemed normal/clear and normal like bowels, pelvis, bladder, uterus , rectum normal , kidneys, pancreas, adrenals lungs spleen kidneys and no free fluid was see,no lymphadenopathy seen. Did another MRI ( post contrast) for further evaluation MRI on 19/6/12,mentioned that calcifications are better seen on SCans than MRI and everything conlusion ws normal study. (Note she had to do MRI 8 hrs fasting, but as we went about half hour late they asked her to eat something and 3 hours later was the MRI, could her eating have hindered MRI .
She lost weight since she had her braces, more than 10kls since her braces as she had difficulty eating properly, but now she is ok, and have meals but not at the correct time, skips breakfast most days but will have lunch and dinner, and noticed yellow tinge on skin but when asked family they said no, they did a full blood test on her but did not test for magnesium is there any other blood tesst that you can recommend,her vitamin D is 29nmol/L low she was taking Loraclear with 10 mg Loratadine since dec 2010 on and off for relief of hayfever, but reading the box now says that if you have liver problems to avoid taking it,she also take a naprogelsoc for period pain and ibuforen 1 with 1 panadol for headaches.
I Have provided results for bloods test (Australian standards) below that was taken on 1/6/12 Note Docotor said slighly anemic, never explained it, I thpought it was it was iron deficinecy, but this GP said iron is in normal range to boarderline but still slighly anemic,even though iron level is at 7or 8, because her or ferratin is low, but her and thats why the docotor said she is anemic due to her *MCH 26.7pg, *MCHC-21.1g/dl, (.3-.5) low and I really dont know what to do or how to rectify the matter.She had hematuria around 2010 too, and a couple of years ago she had bright red blood in toilet the doctor did an internal and said it was a small tear so did not send for any other studies, but it was really bad as I got a shock, and she said she had it once after that but did not tell me on the day only after a couple of days as she said I would have taken her to the doctors, she did mention though that she strained a bit.
I am worried as my Father In Law had bowel cancer in his 70s and is ok at present now 77, and my mother in laws step brother toohad it, and he did not survive
She gets highly stressed and I am a stress head as well, I have given all the results as I dont know what else to do and feel so helpless, They did a Coeliac Disease serology (serium) – normal 2.53,for 2012 results as per 1/6/12,).
Were they looking for Crohn's disease or is there any other test that she needs to do
She gets really cramppy during her monthlies and I dont want to give her any ibuforen tablets so I gave her panadol but she was in sever pain, spoke to the doctor she said that Ibuforen is better than Panadol, and now reading about crohn's disease noticed that Ibuforen is not good and she used to take them for headaches period pains, etc, and she is someone that gets highly stressed out.
Plese any information you can provide will be useful, someone mentioned about bile in the stools why is that and how can I help her.
Can anyone give my a list of things that she needs to eat if she has crohn's diease, what other test could she do and what are the other symptoms to look out for, I thought the stomach cramps gassy bloated feeling was due to the calcificatin but the doctor said it has nothing to do with it . I am at a loss, please any information is useful
Sorry about this as i dont know what else to do and I am looking for answers.
Wish you all good health
God Bless you
