ulcerative colitis or crohn's Posted: 12-04-07 02:55am
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.
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
