My daughter is 19 and had been diagnosed with iron d anemia . We just spent 10 days in hospital and they think it looks like ileum crohns. Nobody in our family has this. They tested MRI, Ct ultrasound and there was 40cm inflamation in her ileum . She has been put on budenofalk 3+3mg . We are so confused what now she still has pains a week later and is careful on her eats. I would like to know is will she always be in pain is it worse during periods and when and how do we really get to know if it really is crohns . How can they really tell if it's crohns can blood test show it? Please help we are so confused. Could it be anything else. Please also recommend foods that she could eat tht would help healing. Anybody also taking phelium husks ?

Hi.
The gold standard test for crohns are scopes with biopsies. Blood work can reveal deficiencies such as iron, b12, vitamin D and active inflammation. It's important to get a proper diagnosis so treatment can start.
I would suggest she keep a food and symptom journal. Once crohns is under control she shouldn't be in pain all the time.

Did they do a fecal calprotectin stool test? This test is useful for diagnosis.
What we eat and how it affects us is a very individual thing.I agree with DJW about a food journal,they can be helpful.Does she have pain with liquids as well as solid food?
