If you have NO pain is it likely you have not got IBS IBD or Crohns?

Hiya Venny
I've just read your story thread, sorry I missed you! Big Hello!
My symptoms have always been mild, I don't bleed, rarely do I have other mainfestations such as mouth ulcers etc but...
I defo have Crohn's!
And no, I don't have any pain, and I'm eating what ever I want but.........
I'm not gonna become complacent, I know it's there, I can feel it, It's a hard lump in LRQ
At the mo, it's happy and not inflamed, hence no pain.
Only a matter of time before it kicks off again!
And, I need to say, I have diarrhea on a daily basis, that's the norm for me, always has been. And to be fair, I eat crap! So that's why.
But my Crohn's is dormant at the mo.
Hope I'm making sense, I'm tired!

Venny when I flare I'm floored!
And the pain?
You'd have to scrape me off the ceiling if you touched me!
My pain is in the LRQ, not anywhere else when I flare.
A flare (for me anyway) is when that LRQ area swells with inflammation. I can feel it, it bulges.
Then it radiates round to the lower back and hip.

I also don't get pain day to day, or diarrhoea (only if I eat something that irritates my insides). But like Astra, pain was my main symptom when I flared- the doctors would do that rebound test where they press on then take their hand away quickly. I screamed, and they asked 'did that hurt?' and did it again!
I am 40 yrs. old and was recently diagnosed with Crohn's Ileitis with mild inflammation and ulcerations of the illeum during a colonoscopy. I'm scheduled for a pill-cam enteroscopy later this month. I have never had any pain. Not even the slightest ache or cramp. My symptoms included a gradual, unexplained 30 lb. weight loss over the past year, 4 - 5 episodes of loose stool per week, and somewhat low on B12. I started on Budesonide, which started working after 2 weeks. I've gained 2 pounds in the past week so far!! Yeah!! (NEVER thought I'd be excited about gaining!!), and no need for Imodium anymore. I have plenty of questions for my Dr. and would like to know what to expect in the future. Has anyone had a similar experience with their diagnosis/symptoms?
