High ALT and RBS levels?

[taraswede]

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting! I have visited here so many time and got so much information and answers I need but never posted until now~

My story: I am a 24 year old female that started having symptoms at age 13( mouth ulcers, weight loss, hair loss, anemia, b12 high ESR, platelets, extreme abdominal pain, diarhea etc.)
Since then back and forth with doctors flareups, medications, steroids, etc.....

I havent had a HUGE flareup in a couple of years just small ones here and there but this winter has been bad. I had a really painful perianal fistula in december which kept opening up and bleeding. My gastro ordered for a colonscopy right away( I am not a fan of my gastroenterologist ) and said he saw nothing (although Im sure my crohns is in the terminal ileum which i heard is sometimes difficult to see via colonscopy) and that I must be fine, although I wasnt. He put me on flagyl and cipro, which I had an allergic reaction to.

Anyway, long story short, Ive been sick since December. Abdominal pain,
diarhea, bruising on abdomen, and constant colds and infections since december. Ive had pneumonia, the stomach flu 3 times within 1 week, 3 serious sinus infections, the regular flu,....so right now i am at my whits end but now saying "Screw the doctors" and doing some more research on my own.

I recently got a blood test back and my results....
C-Reactive protein= 10.2 (Should be less than 8 i believe)
Randon Distribution Width =14.4(11.0-14.5)
Platelets normal =356( 150-400)
ESR 24( 0-12)
RBS 9.3 (3.3-7.8)
AST 42 (6-42)
ALT 90 (4-43)
GGT 40( 5-40)
TSH 1.1 (0.30-5.60)
UA 395( 120-400)
NA 135(135-146)
B12 188
Ferratin 21


My question was, does high liver values have anything to do with crohns? What could it mean?

I am asking to do lots of tests with my doctor: Small Intestional Bowel Overgrowth test, fructose malabsorption( which i may have tested positive before for) intestional permiability assessment, celiac, lactose, and h.pyflori....I know its a lot of test but after so many years of just taking meds or not taking then and "just" getting by, I want some more real and concerete answers~Thank god for universal healthcare although hard to find a test here in Ontario ( though Kingston offers SIBO and McMaster offers fructose and SIBO)

Thank you so much to anyone for your help or advice~:smile:

Hi Taraswede
The first thing I would do is to find a good gastroenterologist, from what you have said it seems you do not have confidence in the present one.It is essential to find someone who you trust.
There is a very good group at McMaster, you could try for Dr Armstrong or Dr Marshall.
In Toronto--Dr Jan Irvine is top of the field. (St Michaels Hospital)
Your LFT seem a bit off and your Vit B12 and Ferritin rather low.The inflammatory markers are increased indicative of inflammation somewhere in the body.
I sympathise with the flagyl cipro reaction, I had a severe anaphylactic reaction to those two also and spent a week in hospital.
Don't continue to suffer.
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes
