I think I spelled it right,


I am 26 years old and I have had stomach problems since I was a little girl. Went to the doctors and all they keep telling me is " you are perfectly healthy, all you have is a little constipation".

I thought constipation is when you can't go poop at all??

I was wandering if I have the chrones disease, one doctor said he thinks I might have IBS that they were not sure...


My symptoms are, upset stomach with deep pinching pains that cause it hard to walk or lean, or bend over. Every time I eat or drink anything 5 min. later I'm in the bathroom with diarrhea. At times it even hurts to use the bathroom, My stool has recently changed from brown too a dark brown some times black stool. Also my right side right underneath the ribs (on the side and back) feels like something is about ready to burst.

I'm tired of doctors telling me nothing is wrong, when I know there is and I know I am not constipated I use the bathroom regularly if not more than you are supposed to .

Please some one tell me what to do Im tired of stupid doctors who don't know what there doing!!

Crohn's Disease can sometimes be hard to diagnose. I wonder what kind of doctor you have seen. Was it a gastroenterologist? If not, I suggest you make an appointment with one.

Do you notice different foods causing this, for instance spicy foods?

Have you had an upper GI scan or a Lower GI scan? One of these would reveal the skipped lesions that is common with Crohn's.

My daughter has Crohn's Disease and I found that the only way to get her any REAL help was to take her to a homeopathic doctor. Diet has a lot to do with getting better, and if you find a good homeopathic doctor he or she will be able to put you on some remedies that will help you with your particular symptoms. Medical doctors will put you on steroids if they think it is Crohn's Disease. That may help for the moment, but it will only cause you more problems in the long run.
