Hi,
My name is Nadene, and I am new to the group, but not new to Crohn's disease. I was first diagnosed 19 years ago, with severe pain. I went to many doctors and nobody diagnosed me, I saw a gastro, and then a gynecologist. The gyno gave me a hysterectomy, but my pain still persisted, finally after much research, I had to tell my doctor what I had so that I could get a referral to a gastro. They thought my Crohn's had been in remission for many years, because there was no sign of it through a colonoscopy, but later CT scans revealed that it is down very low. So, to make a long story short, I am having surgery in November, for narrowing, structuring, and inflammation. I am on a low residue diet until then.
So, I am glad to be around people like me.
