Hello,
I have been posting in various places on these forums, mostly anxiety forum which stems from my digestive issues. I have flair ups of a stomach pain usually in left lower ab, kind of a burning feeling, it sometimes moves around. I also have a scalloped tongue and heart burn and heart fluttering. Today i had a really bad bout of diaherra. IT was very extreme i must have went to the washroom 10 times all liquid and not completely emptying my bowels. It scared me and comes and goes. I am also anemic, i found out when i went for blood tests for my bowels. I keep getting blood work done but they do not find anything substantial. I have extreme anxiety about this because it has been going on for so long and nothing is happening. Oh i also have lots of new pimples all in the same are, they are a bit different than normal ones, they are deeper under skin, painful and last a lot longer. I am not too familiar with Crohns, do my symptoms match Crohns or any other ideas.

Thanks.

Hi, Have you seen a GI doctor yet. They can run test to see if you
have IBD or IBS.

No my family doctor said that will be the next step after this next round of blood tests. So that's good to finally get to a GI doctor. But does that sound like it is potentially Crohns? I know you digestive issues all have similar symptoms/

it could be so many things, IBS, Colitis, Crohns etc, you need to see a Gastroenterologist fast! there are different treatments for all the different possibilities.

Hello Worried30,

I have been having GERD since my CD diagnosis. I can tell you based on what you have written that those symptoms may be due to GERD. I have heart palpitation, chest in the pressure, acid reflux, slight diarrhea and a lot of sound in the movement. I can't eat too much and at the same time I can't leave my stomach empty. You have to worry only if you pass blood in your stool. Keep an eye on your stool. alert yourself, if you see black stools and blood in the toilet.
