For probably 7 years now I have been experiencing strange pains in my abdomen around my belly button area and difficulty swallowing food. It would come and go and over the years I would go to the ER where they would just discharge me with something different each time.
Early 2015 I began experiencing pain but also generally unwell feeling. I was nauseated a lot and trips to the bathroom were frequent. The pain would be severe and I could feel it in my back even. This would go on for awhile and subside.
In May after dealing with a long while of pain and sickness I finally went to the ER where they took an x-ray and just gave me medicine antibiotics or something. Bloodwork said fine. I left that day with them claiming it to be gastritis.
Pain kept up and so did the frustration and confusion. I was back at the ER in July with crippling pain in my lower right side and I thought it could be my appendix. I was vomiting and so unwell. I was admitted. They found inflammation via x-ray and treated me with pain medication and anti-nausea medication. A doctor viewed previous visits and saw on previous scans there was inflammation and it was never taken seriously. He asked why I never did anything about it. It is hard when I'm told it could be ovarian cysts and to go home and rest. I had a colonoscopy done which showed narrowing in my ileum.
The gastroenterologist at the hospital told me it is IBD possibly Crohns, he ruled out UC.
Now, bloodwork came back fine, biopsy showed no granuloma. I followed up with a GI and had a pill cam done. This showed small patches of inflammation and she never discussed my ileum with me. She ruled out Crohn's Disease. Now I am getting. Fructose breath test and I don't feel that fits at all.
I have lost a ton of weight, pain, nausea, joint pain, mouth ulcers, loose stool.
I am so confused and feel as though this is going to be a fight.
