Hi all just found this forum and thought I'd put my story out there to see if anyone can enlighten me further. I've always suffered with my stomach and it's gotten progressively worse as I got older, I had a colonoscopy 5 years ago that was fine nothing found so was diagnosed as IBS. Last year my symptoms got worse almost over night, pain, bloating, fatigue, headaches, sickness, bloody/mucus diarrheah, acid reflux ( not sure if linked) I can't take any form of inflammatory med as makes my bowel bleed and I have certain foods I have to steer well clear from, so went back to my dr who referred me to the gastrointestinal to have more tests as a possible crohns UC ( my sister has UC too) dr has done bloods which showed an elevated white blood cell count, but nothing else CT was fine and they found ulcers in my terminal ileum, however he said there is nothing wrong possibly mild crohns but he refuses to give a firm diagnosis he said there isn't enough evidence? Which left me very upset and confused as to what I fact is actually wrong, hie also tried blaming campylobacter which I got hospitalised for in November although I was on referral to him from back in July/august. He said as the CT scan showed clear of inflammation IBD is unlikely, but if I was in remission at the time as not having any symptoms would it have shown? I'm currently undergoing tests now for arthritis also as my joints have all gone to pot, sorry for the ramble mush mash but just wondered if anyone had had anything similar and could shed any light as being told to just live with it when your not able to get up on a bad day just doesn't cut it! I'm also going to be having an ultra sound for Gaul stones, I'm almost 100% that I don't have these I think he's just testing me for the heck of it. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated
