Were you diagnosed right first time?

No. Five years before I had diverticulitis they thought. But never were positive. I was in the hospital for five days and had an infection and they wouldn't let me go home till I had a BM or eat anything other than liquids.
It was miserable. Had runs and pains off and on all my life. So then Two yrs. ago I went to my PC because my stomach hurt everyday for 6 months. It was miserable too. The Dr. said IBS. But sent me for a colonoscopy again. I had one two yrs,before. This time there were two ulcers in my colon and inflamation in the ileum. So they diagnosed it as crohns because it was in both intestines. I was just fortunate they caught it this time, otherwise I'd still be suffering everytime I go out and have to worry about if there's a b.room.

I didnt have any symptoms at all and during a route blood check it discovered I had high platlets. Following that they asked if I was loosing blood which I wasnt really, just a little bright blood but figured that was normal.

I then had a camera and they discovered I had Crohn's. They said I was in denial that I had it. I truely was unsure as I was not in pain or anything.

That was 8 years ago... currently going through a flare but slowly getting better.
