:yfaint:Hi, my name is Barbara. I am 44 and I have been diagnosed with crohns after a sbft, colonoscopy, blood test, and ct scan. I work in the medical field and was fortunate to get an accurate diagnosis, since I present very differently than most people with crohns.
I am gaining weight, constipated, stomach is bloated no matter what I eat, and I am always wanting to soothe my stomach with food, which does not work...I am currently taking pantasa, my GI specialist doesn't seem to understand the pain I am in, and now wants to schedule endoscopy. I am tapped out.. I want a diet I can follow, to have a bowel movement without having to take ducolax and run to the bathroom for hours...
I know I have a stricture in my ileum, is this is a flare up or does my bowel stay like this? Newbie
