Ok so here is my story - I was 16 when I was diagnosed and am now 30. In that whole time the only indication I have crohn's were the symptoms that prompted me to seek help when I was 16 - strong cramps after eating. That was it. I had these symptoms for 3 months, went to the doctor's, got diagnosed with Crohn's, took medication, it cleared up and I haven't taken anything or had any symptoms since.
I got diagnosed via a barium x-ray; I never had a colonoscopy or any other invasive procedure. Additionally, the symptoms came on during an extremely stressful period in my life when I had very recently lost a close relative.
Do you think it's possible I was misdiagnosed?
Thanks!
