Hey guys,
After lots of diagnostic tests, my GI doctor told me he is positive I have crohn's ileitis, which from what I understand is crohn's affecting the ileum part of the small intestine. He told me that no medication is currently required and that I should go back in 6 months or so to get tested again and see how it progressed.
My question is, should I be getting any medication?? Should I ask for another opinion? Shouldn't I be getting something to ease the inflammation and treat the ulcers? My current symptoms are constipation, intense abdominal cramps and mild pain. Sometimes I also get backpain, not sure if it's related.
Your input is really appreciated..
