I cant tell if I have the flu or if I am having a flare up.

Slight fever, liquid green diarrhea, body aches, and fatigue.

I feel horrible but oddly enough, it comes in spurts.

Thank you in advance.

Do you have respiratory symptoms such as cough and/or very sore throat? If not it's very unlikely to be the flu. Influenza is a disease of the lungs.

Not really. So do you think its just the Crohns?

Possibly, but don't rely on the words of anonymous people on the internet. If you suspect a flare you need to be examined by your GI.

My G.I. is not very dilligent. I really don't know what to do. Should i just go to urgent care or something? I do have a colonoscopy scheduled for Monday so hopefully, things can get figured out.

If you have a colonoscopy Monday I would just wait and see what that shows. That should tell the doc very clearly whether it's a flare or not. So unless your symptoms are really bad, to the point of being unbearable, I would just wait for the outcome of that.

Green colored stool such as the diarrhea you describe could mean gallbladder problems.

Sadly, i dont actually have my gallbladder anymore.

When you go for the colonoscopy mention the green diarrhea to the doctor. The more information they can go on the better chances for a good outcome.
