I have crohn's disease but I have unnormal symptoms of it. Instead of having diarhea and pains, I am nauseas and weak all the time. what are your symptoms? are they like mine?

hi jolene, I am a female crohn's pt. for 29 yrs dxed at the age of 12. For me, I had blood in the toilet, was constipated and had the big "D" as well as severe abdominal pain and low grade fevers. I also had ulcerations in my throat which made it hard to swallow. Medications took care of it. now I am on the newer treatments to stay in remission and I avoid smoking and drinking. Symptoms will vary in each person as well as reacting to medical treatments. Some folks go into remission asap, others it make take time, or they just don't respond at all.

First, are you pregnant at all? that would be the first thing the MD would ask b/c those symptoms are usually common in pregnant women. if you aren't pregnant, then yes, they could be symptoms as well as a low grade fever, the big "D" or big "C", abdominal pain, flare ups right before that time of the month, joint pain, and sometimes nausea and or vomiting.

For more accurate information, check out the crohn's and colitis website. they have a live chat & a hotline that is run by healthcare experts during the week plus an open forum where pts. can post questions to others w/IBD like themselves.

I wish you the best of health. I can truly understand where you are coming from.

Hell I am 28 yr old female and I am hoping I have came to the right place for advice, suggestions and other stories. I am really confused, concerned and now know (after researching) the symptoms I am having are not normal. I will try my best to make this short and sweet…

-I have had rectal bleeding and irritation around rectum after bowel
for years 5+ and always thought I needed more water and fiber in my diet.
-For the last couple years I have rarely have a regular bowel movement, I am either constipated for days or have several days of diarrhea, I don't know if it matters but a lot of the time my stool floats.
-Bloody diarrhea
– I occasionally have stabbing pain in my rectum that last less than a minute.
-abdominal cramping
-bloated
-gas
-nauseous
-dizzy/light headed/shaky

I honestly did not think this was serious until recently…this is what happened:
It started with horrible headaches for 2 weeks, in my right eye and right side of head…no pain meds helped! Then I started having bloody diarrhea (7 bowels the first day) at one point it looked like there was no feces in it just bloody tissue. after the first day I could no longer see blood but still had around 3 to 4 bowel movements each day all diarrhea..I am currently on day 5 of this.

This happened to me 2 other times in the last 6 months, the first 2 times I thought maybe I ate something bad and it was a reaction, but it seems to be getting worse, the 1st time was only one day, the 2nd time was 2/3 days and now this time it has been 5 days. also the first 2 times I did not have a headache, so not sure if this is related.

Also I am not sure if this is related or not but I had a very early miscarriage during this ( took a home pregnancy test and showed positive, then started bleeding heavy the next day) and sadly this is my 3rd miscarriage.

I am having no weight loss and although I do feel fatigue/tired often…it is not more than any other day, I am a stay at home mom and am able to rest when the kidos allow me.

So here is my concern…after researching it seems I am having a lot of symptoms of IBD Crohn's disease/UC, which really scares me b/c my aunt suffered from crohn's and passed away after one too many surgeries : (

I have made an apt with my primary doctor for next week and plan to ask if he will refer me to a specialist…

I would appreciate any thoughts, advice, suggestions and to hear about others stories hat are similar.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my post and thank you in advance for responding. I really do appreciate it…I am really confused right now and worried this may be serious.

it does sound like you could have either. everyone with crohns has varying symptoms. if you do get diagnosed with it, your not alone there are alot of groups online and most likely in your area

it could be anything its best to get a diagnoses off a doctor

A few days ago I started feeling a little bloated/a little constipated. my bowels have been irregular and just recently Ive been starting to have symptoms of a kidney infection such as burning when I pee, frequent urination, blood in my urine, back/side pains. Im worried. Can anyone tell me whats been going on?

–Also I might add it was much worse in the morning.
