Thanks for the input everyone! I haven't really paid attention to the color so I'll make sure to make a point of checking. It's interesting that I've only just started having this issue. I'm...
Hi All, Still going through my diagnoses confirmation (pillcam scheduled for the 12th - please wish me luck!) But I do have a question. I've noticed this new "symptom" for the past week or two and...
Hi all, I've posted a couple of times but I haven't been formally diagnosed with anything yet. I have the markers for Crohns. I just had my 2nd colonoscopy in December (last one in January 2009) and...
I know my test scores aren't off the charts - and like you said even if they were it probably wouldn't amount to a hill of beans as far as the doctor is concerned. I'm not lactose intolerant, I have...
