I'm ready to go nuts here everyone. I need your help. I was hospitalized at the beginning of the year with really bad diarrhea and dehydration. Everyone thought it was a really really bad bug that just took forever to get over but ever since then my bowel has been ruining my life. I had one sigmoidoscopy at the beginning of the year which didnt show anything worth worrying about but I had another just a few weeks ago after finding blood in my stool and apparently now the doctor thinks i may have ulcerative colitis or crohn's. its just they don;t know which one and my doctor doesn't want to do a colonoscopy till next year. Sad

every morning i wake up with horrible stomach cramps, really bad wind...normally a loose motion...but lately it's been getting worse and i am also getting a pain in the middle of my chest, in between my rib cage. it almost feels like pressure! the diarrhea has started back up and it's ruining my life, im too scared to go out and every night i fall asleep and then wake up in pain! i've been having a gluten free and dairy free diet but it hasn't seemed to help much! i feel lik the doctors are missing something! please help

Let me tell you. Doctors can not help crohns disease.

I know someone who used a product called MMS. He no longer has crohns. You can do a search on it and find out about it.

Another treatment is explained in a book by a guy named Jordan Rubin called "Patient Heal Thyself" The book tells the story of a young man who was wasting away from IBS. He figured out how to cure himself. The book tells about all these products he went on to produce and sell that are way expensive. The good part about the book is that it explains how these conditions develop and what you can do to get rid of it. I would not by his products though. You can find similar stuff if you look around and shop carefully. But you do need to understand how your situation developed and this book will tell it like it is.

If it were me I would start with the MMS as I went about educating myself on causation and management through diet and herbal therapies.

Your Diagnosis

It's very common for you to be misdiagnosed with multiple issues when it comes to the intestines. I have been mis-diagnosed with Ciliac for 10 years and after my father was diagnosed with Crohn's and seeing that it was a genetic trait. I got tested and was confirmed no appology from my Doctors for missing out on bread for 10 years. But hey thats cool.

Hmmm...Disorders...you don't say...

Have been having eating problems since I was a kid. Now that I have been diagnosed with Marfans, I'm really wanting to find out just how much of a role the disorder has played.

Surely your intestines, assophogis , stomach etc has a heck of a lot of connective tissue...combine that with a possible difference in taste due to the raised-palette...

Fussy and/or Picky eater...is not a dx I want to settle for any more...

Normally (If am not mistaken) the early symptoms of crohns desease starts with colitis. The more stress you are under the worse it seems to get. Ultimatly ending up with the possiblilty of getting crohns. I have colitis and have had for decades. Now, it seems like everything I eat goes right through me to the point a keep 4 liters of gater aid to replentish my electrolytes.
Try some extra fiber in your diet and see what happens.
