Something isnt right with me lately, (this is my symptoms) I have abdominal pain for 1 month now in the same area (lower right side) and pale yellow diarreah that is sometimes once a day to ten times a day…I am constantly tired and in pain.. they ruled out appendicitis, cysts, a hernia, and bowel obstruction….they think i might have one of these disorders listed above, I have a young baby to take care of and I feel like crap, any information would be greatly appreciated thank you!
Here are a couple of sites that you might find helpful to understand the differences and similarities of these two conditions:
mayoclinic.com/health/crohns-…
ulcerativecolitis.us/app/diet…
both sites speak to diet, symptoms, supports etc.
Good luck and take care of yourself and your little one.
Hi!
I started out with hives (a horrible itchy rash) when i was 16.
I also suffered with very heavy periods, and abdominal pain.
in 2000 after having three kids, i went to the dr. for the abdominal pain and they did a endoscopy procedure and i was diagnosed with endometriosis. I had a complete hysterectomy. after that for years i dealt with stomach cramps, extreme gas , and constant heartburn ,being tired all the time.
Then i started having joint pain, and trouble swallowing, due to an inflammation problem in my body.
In june of 2008 i started having a horrible stomach ache, cramping , and bloody diarrhea, so i went to the hospital for a colonoscopy.
and was then diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis.
I think all my symptoms from the age 16, are maby linked to this.
I am on Prednisone and Asacol.
You should see a Doc as soon as possible!
Good luck 2 you!
