Sound like Chron's?

Posted , 1 user is following.

Back in november i went to my GP about a slight burning feeling in the center of my abdomen just below rib cage also loose mushy stools(no blood), i had blood taken and was given omeprozole (suspected inflamed stomach lining). Had a trip to a&e a few weeks later and was given amoxicillin and told its probably ibs, blood tests showed slight inflamation, i then had bad wartery diarrhoea for a day and half, blood in one bm.

Since then stools have been quite loose but no blood, to me they seemed to have mucous, most days id have a bm when i wake up, then a few slight pains in my upper left, bm was mushy, then later on in the day my bowel wouldnt feel emptied.

From jan until now the pain is more uncomfortable feeling than a pain, mainly in my upper left abdomen under rib cage, some days feels fine and gone. Occasionally get heartburn.

Bm are now more normal, maybe once or twice every other week they are mushy but can see small bits of white/clear mucous on a normal bm. Sometimes a bit constipated. So i was thinking ibs until....

Finally had a colonoscopy today and was all normal except for some ulcers in my terminal ileum so the doctors are suspecting chron's (really hoping its not ) waiting for the biopsy results, just wanting to see if anyone has been through similar or any advice?
