I feel like most of my problem is weight loss.
My symptoms are so mild compared to almost all patients with IBD. I never had pain, never had nausea or vomiting, never had bleeding. As a result, my GI began to suspect if I even had some inflammatory problem, although colonoscopy showed mild/moderate inflammation and despite my blood tests. From 2010 until the beginning of 2013 we try 5-ASA and failed.
In 2013 I still weighed 70kg (only 3kg below my normal).
So my GI decided to stop all medications and left me only with loperamide, because he began to believe that I had a functional problem and not inflammatory.
Even without drugs I can lead a near normal life but losing weight. I lost more than 10kg. But despite this, my symptoms are still the same. What bothers me is not being able to sleep well (I sleep late because I spend the night worried and wake up early in the morning to BM)
So I started going to the gym and even got to 62-63kg, but came a new colonoscopy and I lost a kilo and a half. I have 1.76cm and I feel really thin. All my friends are strong or chubby and I keep getting slimmer.
My GI decided to put me in Entocort and if it fails, will use prednisone. Then try azathioprine. Now he belives I have IBD. I hope this time I can go into remission and then may gain weight. I feel really depressed right now.
