hey everyone,
I am a 31 yr old woman I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease at the age of 21, a week ago i was taken to the emergency ward, come to find after testing that I had diverticuilitis.
I was quite shocked because after reading about the disease, I have all the signs I just dont fit the age of when a person should get it.
I guess what i am looking for is some advice - is there a chance that I have been misdiagnosed with the wrong disease all these years, I have never felt like i had Crohn's, I have never had to do surgery for the Crohn's and so on, alot of people i read that have Crohn's seemed to have alot of problems, I just the usual diahorrea, conspitation, pain, wind, cant eat etc.
If anyone has advice or opinions that would be great would love to hear from you.
