Hi, I'm looking for some help i've had problems which are associated with crohns for over a year now. Unexplained B12 deficiency, intermittent diorreah, cracking of the skin around the anus, bleeeding of the skin, I sometimes get a very sharp stabbing pain when i pass a stool (this will have me doubled over in pain) abdominal pain and bloating. I was finally refered to a consultant due to the b12 deficiency (the other symptoms seem to have been ignored by doctors) who has refered me for an endoscopy (stomach and upper intestine) this weekend to check for coeliac. Problem is if this comes back not showing something should I ask for further tests to check for crohns? I don't want to seem like a hypocondriac who's diagnosed myself online.
