Doctors are almost certain that i have IBD (chrons) but are not 100% after 14 years of having sever abdominal attacks, pain episodes that usually last about a day of sever cramps, nausea, vomiting and following diarrhea the next day.

They just started me on pentasa yesterday. I have had several ct scan that always show up negative which gets frustrating. I am waiting for my first colonoscopy to be done asap. am on a waiting list. I am also on a waiting list for a ct entorography

Not feeling well at all lately, seem to be getting that "attacks" more often..

Thanks for all the reply's and support. Glad i found this forum
