just diagnosed

After many tests(Laproscopic surgery, colonoscopy and Ct scans that came back negative, only showing inflamation) I was diagnosed on my symptoms and the inflamation as having mild colitis & crohn's.
My symptoms: weight loss, blood in my stools, fevers, diahrea, stomach pain( comes in waves really bad). The doctors want me to start a diet to see if we can calm down my flare up.
Has anyone else been diagnosed like this?

What a hard time your having. My heart goes out 2 you, It can be a long road of tests, flare ups, agony and more agony.. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, just like you i was diagnosed with both UC And CD. Its also really hard when having 2 be in hosp when having a flare up, but it is the best place when getting the proper treatment. Hang in there. Email me if you have further questions, i know what your going through. Also its Suzanne ere.. Im 21, have been suffering since i was 8...

 dont give up...
by: es c from ca

my daughter was diagnosed 3 yrs ago and had a battery of tests (sigmoidoscopy, barium xray, lactose test)..the result was 'it's proabalbe that she has crohns....they treated her agressively (prednisone and pentasa)..3 months later, her flare up ceased and she went into remission.

if you have not gotten better thru dietary changes, i highly recommend you to be persistent - don't give up and have as many questions prepared as possible.

good luck,
