How to tell the difference

[Malicious]

Hey everyone,

I'm just wondering how you can tell the difference from Crohn's symptoms from a stomach bug?

For the past 2 days, I've been really ill - like endoscopy prep stuff ill, and I've barely eaten a thing.
The other night my stomach was in pain, but that seems to have gone away mostly, I just feel off and don't want to eat.

I thought maybe it was Crohn's - I'm on prednisone (5mg) but my puri-nethol was upped to 1 1/2 tablets over a week ago, so I thought maybe it was the change in medication that's causing it.

However - I don't feel hungry at all. So that makes me think it's a stomach bug. Usually with Crohn's symptoms I feel hungry regardless.

Anyway, my question is how can you tell the difference between Crohn's (or other IBD issues) from something like a stomach bug?

Time, maybe?

Maybe everyones different, especially with different meds and dosages. I recently thought i had a obstruction, turns out it was cross contamination or bacteria. I honestly couldnt tell the difference but tests say crohns is doing well so must be something else. There is alot of colds, bugs etc going around at the moment which makes it very hard to tell. I hope you improve and feel better though.

I don't know the difference but I hope you feel better soon.
