Hi,

My symptoms are as follows: I get up in the morning, take a PPI, go to the bathroom. A half hour later I have either fluids or something small to eat and take my other pills (5mg of prednisone and 2 Imuran.) A couple of hours later I start to feel full and sick to my stomach. This last till about 3 in the afternoon when I go to the bathroom again and then I start to feel better. Sometimes my stomach sounds like it's full of fluids and sloshing back and forth. Again, it doesn't seem to matter if I eat or not. Unfortunately I tend to get stomach blockages when the Crohn's is bad but I just can't tell what's going on now. I have just been newly diagnosed with gastritis. I'm waiting for my doc to order an MRI. I really need to know what is going on.

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mary, in my earlier years I had issues with gastritis & twice landed in the hospital. What you are describing for symptoms points at gastritis. You keep mentioning blockages with crohns. Has any of these blockages ever been confirmed by testing? I am thinking you have had a scope recently, did it show anything indicating a blockage or a stricture? How long have you been waiting for the MRI to be scheduled?

Again, it is not wise to take your medications on an empty stomach.

Susie,
I try to take my med with food. I finally booked an MRI for Monday morning in Buffalo since it was going to take so long to have one done here in Toronto. I did have a colonoscopy and a gastroscopy. But a lot of the small bowel can not be viewed with those tests. I've had 4 resections so it's obvious I tend to block.

Does the gastritis go away? Why did you land in the hospital, if I may ask? Thank you for replying. I hope you are well

Yes, gastritis does go away and it is sometimes recurring. It's usually controlled by diet and medication and it's main culprit is stress.
