Hello, my name is Sander and I'm from Belgium.
A few months ago I felt a little nauseous and had some pain in the bottom of my belly. I also felt like i had a fever so I rested for a few days hoping it would go away. The pain got worse and was moving to the right side of my belly so when I talked to friends they told me it could be my appendix. I went to the doctor and she sent me to the hospital immediately. They took some pictures and saw that I had an infection in my small intestine. After a Colposcopy and an MRI it turns out I have Crohn's disease. When I think about it I have been thinking for a few years that there was something wrong with my intestines because I had to go to the toilet more then other people and sometimes really urgent out of the blue.. I also have been very tired and low on energy without knowing what was causing that. I guess I have been having this thing for a while now and that was what was causing these things. Now the doctor from the hospital prescribed me pills called Azathioprin Sandoz. It's 100mg tablets and I should take 1,5 every evening. I went online and found that these pills could have some horrible side effects so I actually prefer not to take them. I am looking online for other solutions and can find alot about certain diets. What do you guys think? Is it best to take the pills or can I try an alternative way?
I think I got a mild version of Crohn's cause most of the time I feel fine. I try to eat healthy but I could eat healthier cause sometimes when I don't have alot of time I cheat and eat fastfood. Right now I am writing down everything I eat and how I am feeling in general. I noticed that after the tests I sometimes feel a little nauseous but maybe that's just because i pay more attention to it. Also when I drink (lots of) alcohol, the next day I have to go to the toilet alot, maybe like 3 or 4 times, on a normal day 1 or 2 times a day. I also read that drinking coffee is bad. Now I have difficulties staying awake at my job, i am sometimes so tired that I go to the toilet and rest my eyes for a few minutes. I used to drink coffee to get me through this but now it's really hard. I am an engineer so I sit at my desk the whole day. I know I have alot of questions but I'm new to this and trying to find people that have the same and can give me some advice...
