Hi everyone, new to the forum as just been diagnosed with mild crohn's after biopsies from colonoscopy and endoscopy.
I started getting symptoms about one year ago when I would have an unsettled stomach and went to the toilet 3-4 times per day, whereby there would be blood and mucus in the stools on some occasions - but this was never diarrhoea.
A couple of months later I started to exhibit painful mouth ulcers and have lots of pain around the oesophagus area when I eat. With bowel movement I also get tenesmus from time to time - feeling of still having not finished - and hurts when I pass the stools.
Since having my tests in the hospital, I now frequently have excrucisting pain in my abdomen like a stabbing pain; suffering with extreme fatigue also. Am taking Prednisolone and Pentasa, but wouldn't say that they've made a huge difference.
Also just wondering if anybody else has had these other symptoms without diarrhoea???
