Crohn's or not?

Is it possible to have a negative bloodwork & NO dirrahea & still have Crohn's?????

[ttcafter38]

yes!  

I was diagnosed 14yrs ago and my only symptoms were horriffic abdominal pain and projectile vomiting. I had early symptoms that weren't correlated as they were so vague, like joint pain.

It took my docs a little bit to diagnose me but they finally did and said that it was hard since my symptoms were atypical

You need biopsies.

Hi There!

Yes, it is very possible!  I was diagnosed with Crohns about 8 years ago, and my symptoms weren't very typical of a crohns patient.  My blood work was fine, and I didn't (and still dont) have diarrhea. The only reason they decided to go in and take biopsies was because of a family history of colon problems.  To this day, doctors always second guess whether I have crohns because "I don't look like or sound like I have it" until they go in and see.

Good Luck!
