    I am really sorry to hear what you're going through right now.

    i don't know if you're in the uk, but go back to gp tomorrow and ask for clarification and a second opinion?

    i hope you get some answers very soon.

    Now you have a diagnosis the docs can treat you.  It may take time but hopefully it will get sorted sooner.

    Hi Elaine, sorry to hear what your going through.  I was was I'll for some time before I found out I had crohns. I agree with other member, you should get a second opinion.
