So I was in the Army for four years when i started having stomach problems and i went to the doctors for it. I was told it was just hard stool. So i took the meds and i did what i was told. It just got worse. I was bleeding so bad my wife forced me to go to the er abd it just so happened the gi doctor was there. He did his thing and set up a appoitment for a colonoscopy. Once he did that he walked in looked at me and my wife and said you have crohns disease and walked out. Now five years later im medically retired from the army and im about to have my ileum taken out and im kinda scared. My wife is very ups and scared. I dont know what to do anymore but let them cut me up like a thanksgiving turkey. Thanks for reading this i know its not very informative but ill try to do better.
