CROHN'S DISEASE / ULCERATIVE COLITIS COMMUNITY
Do I have Crohns?

Do I have Crohns?

I have been told that I have Crohn's and have been put on Azathioprine by my specialist.  I know that that doctors have done all of the tests and even sent a camera through my body to take photos however something is telling me I might have something else.  I have none of the Crohn's symptoms apart from blood in my stools which I had experinced for 10 years before I sort treatment or help.  I seem to get a stabbing pain in the lower left side of my stomach as well which is not related to Crohns either.  I had my gallbladder removed when I was 16 and after that the blood in the stools started could I have post-cholecystectomy syndrome?  I have a large amount of mucus with my stools some times and when I pass wind on the loo and wipe my bottom and there is muscus on the toliet paper even when I don't pass a bowel movement I have seen specialist before I was confirmed with Crohn's that took one look at me and said there is no way you have "Crohn's"  should I seek out more medical specialist that could help me?

I was diagnosed with Crohn's 5 years ago and for me there is no question that it is anything else. I get all of the symptoms you have described, a hips well as a lot of joint pain in my hip and left knee.
However, if you are really worried, then I'd say see a specialist. But it does sound like Crohn's to me.
