Five year ago an operation wereby 50cm of my small intestine was removed, due to the bowel twisting and died, after the operation I had been having ongoing issues, after a year of investigation and medication, it was suggested I had  symptons of Crohn's Disease, 5 years later I have been told that there are no signs in the biopsies that I have the disease, over the years for the last 4yrs have had loose motions up to 15 a day with upper GI bleeding, chronic anemia, nausea, chronic stomach pain, irregular weight loss, at the moment I am on morphine which has controlled the bowel motions and on Throxine for hypothrydism, Losec and nausi calm, I will be going in for iron infusions,further investigations to fibroids, orthopaedic for continuous back pain affecting legs.
