I suggest you get a fructose intolerance test. I'm fructose intolerant and it does some pretty bad things to me if I have too much (which is a small amount > 25g/day). Fructose that is not...
I had the same problem.....much better since I started a Fructose Free diet. Check your diet and eliminate sugar for a couple weeks maybe that will help....
I have FM, IBS, and a questionable IBD diagnoses according to my current GI. Anyway.....try reading the book "Sugar Fix". I have been following the diet in that book with good success. Sour dough and...

So I have never really had sugar cravings in my 32 yrs until the ast 6 months.....now I have been eating something sweet almost every night because of it. Well two weeks ago I found out I am Fructose...
I'm going through the exact same thing right now but not as far along in the process as you are. That being said I have done a ton of research and hired an attorney. If Crohn's is your only problem...
I'm taking it.....my GI gave me a 10 day course every month for the last 5 months. I feel like I notice the difference by day 3 each time but then the pain slowly returns after I finish it. It hasn't...
I was Dx'd last Feb and I still have daily abdominal issues. Like everyone else I have better days than others. But I still workout every other day or at least every 3 days. I took about 4 months off...
I have also been suffering from headaches daily for the last month or so.....I thought I was not drinking enough water at first. But I continue to get them regardless of hom much water I drink or...
I'm a pilot in the military but will probably get the boot in the back before too long!!...
No mention of a colonoscopy or endoscopy???? If you haven't had one you should to rule out Crohn's and UC. I have been on Flagyl twice for Crohn's. Its a very strong drug, lots of side affects, made...

Sorry for the confusion.....the first GI I saw said I had crohns. I was then referred to a crohn's specialist at UNC after 3 months of no "perceived" improvement. The specialist doubted I had crohns...
This is one of my classic symptoms of IBS....go see a GI though and get a proper work-up....
Has he been to a GI....it could possibly be a lot of things....IBS, IBD, colitis. He really needs to see a GI and get scoped for a proper work-up....
My current GI (which is a Crohn's specialist at UNC) said all my problems are NSAIDs induced. I was taking them for back pain and abdominal issues started shortly after. The first GI said crohn's...
Miss Melissa, If you have doubts absolutely get a second opinion. I had a diagnoses reversed by a second opinion. I was diagnosed with Crohns in February after right lower quadrant pain. The doctors...
Hi, I'm in the military (AD AF) and sort-of going through the same thing. I was diagnoised with Crohn's in Feb, got a second opinion and then diagnoised with IBS. So they haven't exactly figured out...
IDES – I have been off all NSAIDs since my first colonoscopy in Feb and my most recent one in May. In fact the last time I think I took any NSAIDs was in January. I also had an MRI of my back in late...
Ides, Question for you. How was your AS diagnosed? I asked about AS several months ago and my PC doctor took some x-rays and ordered a blood test and said although my spine shows some straightening...
I have left flank pain that comes and goes. Its a sharp pain and much more defined than my usual abdominal pain. I have had several CT scan, MRI, and ultra sounds. They only thing they found was a...
Ok, so here is my story. I was diagnosed in Feb with CD after a year of back and abdominal issues. CT showed inflammation in TI, and then colonoscopy a week later also showed inflammation and lesions...

It sounds really simple but worked for me. I got "white tongue" and the aweful taste while on flaygl........I got one of those electric toothbrushes (cheap throw-away version) and brushed my tongue...
Don't worry about it, its the easiest of all the test "we" go thru. I did it on Monday....swallowed the camera at 9:00 a.m. and 3.5 hours later it was out. That is obviously really fast and not the...
Lizard99....I am pretty thin (30' waist) and sometimes my food, especially greens (lettuce, spinach, etc...) comes out fast and undigested?????? Didn't see the doctor yet so I don't know if he will...
So I swallowed the camera on Monday.....I always new I had a fast system but its seems I had the fastest test that the staff could remember. I swallowed the camera at 9:00 and went about my...
I was diagnosed with CD in Feb of this year. I got a second opinion and the new GI thinks I have NSAID's induced IBD not crohn's. I was taking prescript ion strength neproxin for back pain. He said...
Miss Cris, You said you were rated at 50% but recieved a severance check??? Was the 50% rating from the VA after the MEB/PEB seperated you. It is my understanding that if you are rated from the PEB...
Thanks everyone for the responses. I started having abdominal problems within 2-3 weeks of the back pain. I do have a herniated disk but the doc's say it is not associated with my pain. Since the...
