Hi All,
Going for a CT Scan this Wednesday for possible Crohn's Disease. I haven't been myself since late April. My GI scoped me last week and told me my J-Pouch is slightly inflamed but its been like that for a couple of months.
My problem is I may feel OK one day but lousy the next, and my OK days are not that good either. Many bathroom trips, about 12 a day, sometimes more, and then I have to always go back in the bathroom it seems after each BM, just to pass gas. Seems like no matter what I eat, or how little I eat, I feel extremely stuffed and bloated like I swallowed a cannon ball.
My GI is concerned that it could be Crohn's Disease, a partial bowel obstruction (which I doubt because I have had that before), Bacteriea overgrowth in the pouch, or something else, or maybe nothing at all.
When he told me Crohn's Disease, and after suffering from UC since 1986 prior to my surgery in 1993 to remove the Colon, I told him I would rather it be Cancer and be done with it because I can't handle another bowel problem. Anything different would be a relief.
