I have been living in limbo for years not knowing for sure if I had both. My GI told me it was possible it was just the Celiac and the Crohn's was misdiagnosed and we wouldn't know unless I had another flare. Well, I have been having a pretty rough time and the Dr just confirmed it was a Crohn's flare and started me on 40mg of Prednisone- so question answered.
I am nervous because the symptoms I have now are the same as when i was first diagnosed in 2005- which led to a resection due to abscess. I have read on this forum that Prednisone can act quickly, which is good news to me. I am a little nervous about the side effects but trying to remain optimistic.
I now know having both Celiac and Crohn's is not that uncommon. Anyone else out there with both who can share their story? My big question is can an accidental glutening cause a Crohn's flare- like a double whammy?
Thanks to all who have given me advice on my last several posts. It has been so helpful.
