I was diagnosed three months ago, after having the "d" for quite sometime. I was treated for bacterial infection in my stomach. That didn't stop it. I was treated for parasite. That didn't stop it. My GP sent me to a gastro and I had a colonoscopy. It showed ulcerations in the ileum (sp?). Blood test run to see if it was Crohns. Yes, it is. I have looked on sites everywhere to figure out what foods to eat to prevent flare ups. From what I can tell, you cannot prevent a flare up..only reduce the symptoms? I DO know that fried eggs are NOT my friend. I'm still trying to figure out what other foods I personally need to avoid. Today, I have a "stitch" kind of feeling in my top left side, right under my rib..and my stomach feels like I have a warm fire burning in it. Oh what fun! Anyway, I look forward to looking around here and maybe getting some idea of what I might be in for, in a mild case...since that is what I'm telling myself I have..now that I am working through denial..:wink: One question I have is, I had a colonoscopy..did y'all have any other followup testing? Or was the colonscopy the usual method and it gives the GI dr the view he needs of all of the intestine.
