Hi All!
A little about me - 26 year old female that works in Nuclear Medicine (no I promise I don't make people "glow" for a living! ha)
After 6+ years of trying to self-diagnose, several doctors, a lap chole, 3 EGD/Colonoscopys, an allergist, and 2 GI docs...I finally have an answer. I was diagnosed in June 2012 with Crohn's - although not what I was hoping for it's nice to have an answer.
However, I still don't feel "good" - sure I feel better than before, but even while taking 1000mg of Pentasa 3 times a day I still have terrible pain/gas daily, mainly on the left side. Although the GI doc that finally diagnosed me was wonderful, she didn't specialize in Crohn's, so I'm off to see a new GI doc next month. I have a feeling that wheat, dairy, something isn't setting right with me - but seems no matter what I try I'm in pain. Any ideas? Can't wait to spend the sleepless nights reading these discussions!!
