Hello again maybe I should've named myself "Over-Concerned". I truely feel I have an IBD either the Ulceritus one or Crohn's. My personal guess because I have done some very thorough research and from my own physical exam as well as my gastrologist exam it is Crohn's because where I am having all of my pain and problems is in my lower GI like the intestines and when I feel of my lower GI I feel a tightness as well as some places that feel like blockages and I have read is that ulceritus is only the colon and rectum where Crohn's can be from the mouth all the way down. Okay, the reason I wrote is because I sent in my CBC test to all of you to see and I have also researched and read that a blood test is not always the best way to find an IBD or Crohn's Disease; is this true? My gastrologist is planning on having me do a ct scan of my lower gi to my pelvis will this give a clearer picture and find out what is going on and maybe find Crohn's Disease? Thanks all of you for helping me.
My symptoms include lower abdomenal pain which feels like it is right below my stomach and above my pelvis and this I feel is mainly my intestines. Everyday basically 24/7 I have a dull aching pain which averages around a 3 - 4 pain level and I do have times that it reaches to maybe a 6 - 8 pain level. My bowels are very painful when I do go and I have diarrhea and constipation constantly. I have clear mucous that oozes out of my rectum as well. These are just some of my main symptoms and the worse times for me is the morning times and at times very late at night. Here is a list of my medication:
1. LEVOTHYROXINE (SYNTHROID, LEVOTHROID) 112 MCG TABLET
2. HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE (MICROZIDE) 12.5 MG CAPSULE
3. LOVASTATIN (MEVACOR) 20 MG TABLET
4. ALBUTEROL (PROAIR HFA) 108 (90 BASE) MCG/ACT INHALER this is for when my acid reflux really acts up and I can hardly breath.
5. PROMETHAZINE (PHENERGAN) 25 MG TABLET
6. BUTALBITAL-ACETAMINOPHEN-CAFFEINE (FIORICET) TABLET
7. TOPIRAMATE (TOPAMAX) 25 MG TABLET
8. FAMOTIDINE (PEPCID) 20 MG TABLET
9. DICYCLOMINE (BENTYL) 20 MG TABLET
Also another part of my blood test came in and I will give the results on it. This one was done over my metabolism

The two I most concerned with is the two BUN results that is too low can someone tell me what this means I have done some research and found out it has something to do with the urea but I am still confused. Thanks.
