They did do a biopsy of the stomach area. The only change in bowel habbits are the bloody stools. I also had a colonoscopy. My colonoscopy was normal. I have been wondering about crohn's because, amongst everything else, I have a very noisy stomach.My weight is up and down with in 20 lbs, depends on how much food hurts when i eat it. I would have assumed that the gastroenterologist would have been able to detect Crohn's, but again that is an assumption.
or the infection my be caused by Megacolon after surgery. Please advice?
I was diagnosed with Crohn's at 18, I'm 27 now. For the last 2 days I've been experience blood in my stool. I'm kind of worried it could be something serious. I've had crohn's flare ups and the pain is excruciating but the blood in stool hasn't come with any pain so far. I'd love to hear anyones opinion.
hi. i am being treated with shots for a b12 deficiency (which they thought was due to crohn's but was ruled as IBS). i also have hypthyroidism. lately i have been getting small bumps inside my mouth on the inside of my lips. these bumps do not appear to be blisters, just raised skin. after a few hours they go down and im left with a PAINLESS red sore. they disappear completely within 36-48 hours. im very confused about what this is. is it related to the b12 deficiency?
Yesterday my rheumatologist has finally decided to give me something other than anti-inflammatories and anti-depressants for my list of symptoms which he has decided are due to either Ankylosing Spondylitis, Psoriatic Arthritis (Palindromic Rheumatism was mentioned too) or possibly all of the above, with a side order of Fibromyalgia. Just wondering if anyone here has taken Humira (Adalimumab) as I've read about it and am freaking out a bit!
Hi Pamela, sorry to hear of your health problems. Has your doctor considered Crohn's disease? This is an auto-immune disease where the body attacks its' own tissue, in this particular disease, the large and small intestines. Crohn's usually, but not always, starts around the terminal ileum, the last part of the small intestine, which is situated next to the appendix. Appendicitis is usually suspected because of the location of the severe, debilitating pain.
After recovering from the flu, I started experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, gas, itchy rectum, mucus in stool. My gastro-enterologist diagnosed me with SIBO and I was given antibiotics for 3 weeks (3 pills per day). During that time, I was also suffering from a sinus infection and chronic post nasal drip and the ENT gave me more antibiotics.
Hello,
There are many possibilities to your symptoms.The most likely one is appendicitis(inflammation of the appendix).Others are irritable bowel syndrome(irregular bowel movements of constipation and diarrhea along with the pain and nausea are there), Crohn's disease(Crohn's disease most commonly affects the last part of the small intestine, usually located in the right lower abdomen) ,kidney infections, intestinal obstruction, mesenteric occlusion or enteritis.
I have been having a vague pain in my right abdomen to the right of the navel and sometimes a little bit to the right and below the navel the pain is sometimes like a pinching feeling ... along with the pain yesterday the 4th of october. I was feeling lightheaded most of the day. I have also lost at least 10 lbs. If not more unintentionally in the last month or two. .. What could this be ?
I am a 27 year old male with constant stomach issues. I had an appointment yesterday to have a colonoscopy, Afterwards before I was awake the doctor had told my mother, (wife is a teacher and couldn't be there at the time) he told her he had found tumors. Later he made the comment it could be Crohn's though "he had never seen Crohn's look like that. He made a comment to me where he said in his 31 years as a surgeon he had never seen anything like that.
As most of us know Humira (adalimumab) reduces the effects of a substance in the body that can cause inflammation.
Common Humira side effects may include: headache; nausea;
cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sinus pain, sneezing, sore throat;
rash; or redness, bruising, ITCHING, or swelling where the injection was given.
So what you are experiencing is not unusual - however I think you should give your MD a call as Sherry also suggested. He/she needs to know about your reaction.
My daughter is in her 50's and has had Crohn's most of her life. Surgeries resulted in her losing feet of intestines. My question is this...It's possible to replace many parts in the human body, hearts, liver, lungs, skin etc...so why can't the intestine be replaced?
I would definitely recommend finding a doctor who will do a colonoscopy. I'm surprised they didn't do a double endoscopy in the first place. Both Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) would show up in a colonoscopy. Crohn's can show up in an upper GI, but many people only have Crohn's in the lower portion. UC would only be seen in a colonoscopy because it does not go above the large intestine.
Yup, I have Crohn's and actually had a flare up in my eyes. I just thought that my eyes weren't getting enough oxygen due to an overuse of my contacts, but unfortunately that was not the case. I have white blood cells in my eyes (apparently that's not so good), and my eyes were all red and there was a nodule on the surface of one of the eyes. Ironically the doctor had to give me Prednisone drops to make it all go away...good times.
It is important to realise that there are no pain sensors in the lining of the gut, however, increase in pressure on the wall of the gut can produce pain - however the gut is poor at localising this pain. When this pressure is in the splenic region it is often sensed as a pain in the chest.
Another possibility is an issue with the spleen itself. The spleen is involved in he breakdown of red blood cells, which could under certain circumstances account for the anemia.
ve tried indigestion tablets, solutions and changing my diet but it is chronic and has been going on for a long time. There is no heartburn or reflux, just a very full, heavy feeling in my stomach, pain, nausea and feeling full even when I haven't eaten much.
I have crohn's disease, coeliac disease, pancreatic insufficiency and no longer have a gallbladder. My diet and medications have not changed recently so are unlikely to be causing the new indigestion extremes.
Thanks.
Psoriasis is a long-term (chronic) skin problem that causes skin cells to grow too quickly, resulting in thick, white, silvery, or red patches of skin.It is thought that psoriasis occurs when the immune system overreacts, causing inflammation and flaking of skin.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.
