I just turned 30 last month. I haven't had any medical problems for the most part. The last 2 or so years I had some random stomach problems. I had a colonoscopy done last year which showed "unspecified colitis" according to the GI. He put me on Asacol. It seemed to work and I was fine for a while. It recently returned with a vengeance. It was worst than it had ever been. I was trying so hard to figure out what I did wrong. I ended up in the ER because my GI couldn't see me for a month. They ran a bunch of tests. The CT came back showing terminal ileitis, which didn't mean anything to me at the time. They were able to get me to the GI quicker. The GI appt. took 10 minutes. I didn't even get to fire off the many questions I had. (I will get him on the follow up) He put me on Entocort and increased my Asacol. I had a few good days but it still hurts all the time. It is more bearable now though. I have this constant burning sensation across my lower abdominal. That is the best way I can describe it. Do any of you have that? Does the showing of terminal ileitis a definite for Crohn's? I haven't got a straight answer from the GI yet but I understand how it goes.
