Hi All

Please help

I think i have all the symptoms of Crohn's. I have been having severe abdominal pain now for over 10 months now and lost over 2 stone in 2 month and still loosing weight, i have a poor appetite and can't eat large meals. My pain is mainly in the centre of my abdomen where my belly button is but i also have pain where my appendix is and where my gall bladder is. I also have Asthma. I have had ct scans and a Colonoscopy and Gastroscopy which came back normal apart from it showed that i had haemorrhoids and Oesophagites, Hiatus Hernia, Oesophageal Ulcer, Polypoid Gastritis with Erosions.I have also had a pill cam which the GP has just received the report from the Gastroenterologists and it says that they have found patchy erythema in the proximal small bowel but that doesn't explain my symptoms, i am going back to see my Gastroenterology team on Monday so any ideas would be great thanks. I have done a bit of research and spoke to a friend of mine who has Crohn's and he thinks me symptoms sound like Crohn's but what about you people? 

Thanks

Chris

I fi have too much trouble i will as them to re referrer me to another Dr who specialises in Crohn's
