Looking for name of a crohn's-like condition

[InstantCoffee]

I've talked to people Dx with it but I don't know the name.

It's a condition that presents like crohn's / IBD but it's caused by a circulatory problem in the gut / intestines.

I want to do more research on it as I have some evidence that makes me believe it may be a possible explanation for my personal condition.

Circulatory problem? Mesenteric ischemia maybe? That's impaired circulation to the gut usually due to clogging up of the gut arteries similar clogging of the coronary arteries in heart disease. It happens but it's pretty rare.

That might be it, but certainly seems unlikely due to the duration of it and no mention of food intolerance.

Trying to understand other reasons that blood pressure stimulants seem to improve my symptoms. (like caffeine, tribulus)

Could it be Behçet's disease? That's an autoinflammatory condition affecting the blood vessels.

I was wondering about that myself, Emma.

Hmmm.....not something I knew about until a couple of weeks ago - but look up Nutcracker Syndrome (I posted about it last week I think).....

My Mom was recently diagnosed with it, and it took a vascular surgeon to put all the dots together - abdominal discomfort/pain/IBS/IBD symptoms as well as renal symptoms....

Interesting thought, I do have recurrent joint pain, and skin lesion problems but not entirely consistent with those described.
