Crohn's symptoms

[worriedanxious123]

My stomach has been constantly grumbling/growling and I have been burping alot and passing gas for the past couple days.  After I eat, before I eat it doesnt matter.  I was wondering is this is a sign or symptom of crohn's.  About 2 months ago it was like this but I was on two different antibiotics and when I stopped taking them the grumbling and growling stopped so I figured it was due to the medicine. But now it is back.  I have not lost weight, or had any nausea.  I will occasionally have diarrhea but thats it.  Is this is what crohn's is like?  I was put on the antibiotics because of folliculitis so I have been dealing with that as well.  What could be causing this?

Hi there!

This is more likely to be an infection or an acute episode of inflammation of the GI tract. Crohn’s is a chronic condition with a prolonged course and symptoms are usually present for sometime before a diagnosis is made. It would be best to have this evaluated by a a primary care physician or a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hoppe this is helpful.

Take care!

Doesn't seem like Crohn's Disease, don't worry. We CD , UC  patients need to manage life around the numerous BMs.

You seem to have a lot of gas for some reason. Have you kept a Food Diary? There could be certain food that are causing the symptoms. Even stuff you eat 2-3 days ago could affect you today.

Firstly, try to relax & see a doctor.
