Your Questions About Crohn’s And Colitis
Lizzie asks…
why do some people discrimate againist people with crohn’s/colitis/ibs?
i don’t understand this. people think this is funny. i suffer problems like this and sometimes my friend thinks it is funny.
Jill answers:
It has to do with their immaturity. For some reason, many people think that bathroom functions are funny and the fact that some people have diseases that cause them pain and diarrhea, makes even more amusing to them. I understand that people who have to wear colostomy bags get this sort of abuse, too. Try to imagine what kinds of names they get called. It’s not pretty.
Mandy asks…
do colon cancer screenings also check for ulcerative colitis, crohn’s disease, and IBD?
Jill answers:
A colonoscopy allows the doctor to directly see the colon wall. They do not check for anything. They report what they find – includes anything which affects the colon.
Richard asks…
Can clinical tests effectively distinguish between colitis and Crohn’s Disease?
Hello,
I had a colonoscopy done a week ago due to some severe abdominal pain and was subsequently put on Asacol. I got the biopsy results back today, and I either have infectious colitis or Crohn’s Disease. Based on my research, it is difficult to conclusively distinguish between colitis and Crohn’s. If I have infectious colitis, will I be on medication indefinitely? Or, is there anyone out there who knows what some distinguishing factors between the two might be? I am aware of the CCFA, but I would like some advice from people who are actually experiencing colitis/Crohn’s.
Jill answers:
Crohn’s disease can effect anywhere from your throat to your rectum. Colitis only effects your colon. Your doctor should be able to tell which it is by a test or two.(Not quite sure which ones though it’s been awhile) You can always call and ask them though.
Linda asks…
chances I have colitis/crohn’s or something like that?
Okay, here’s the rundown. For a while I’ve been having bright red blood in my stool off and on, and lately its been almost every time. I didn’t think much of it, but recently I’ve been getting really bad stomach pains in waves. It’s been very frustrating because sometimes its so painful I can’t really do anything til it goes away. Then last night, my joints felt really stiff. They’re often stiff in the morning but this was more than ever. I felt like an 80 year old woman (I’m only 20). So I looked online for causes of these things and the common factor seems to be crohn’s disease and colitis and things related to that. Another symptom is dehydration which I’ve also been experiencing a lot of lately. I know this can be passed genetically, and my Mom has colitis. So I’m starting to get a little paranoid that I might have it. Or could it be something else? I have a dr. appt. soon but I just wanted to see what others thought.
I went to the doctor today and she told me I have hemorrhoids. But she didn’t explain the stomach or joint pain, she just said it might be related to the hemorrhoids and rushed out. Doctors are always in a rush ugh. So now I’m confused, what’s up with the other symptoms?
Jill answers:
Well, Molly, that really does sound like IBD (inflammatory bowel disease)… It could be either type: Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. It could also be a number of other things (bacterial infection is the most common), but in your case, with the more chronic course, the typical symptoms, and the associated joint pain, IBD is unfortunately very likely. The good news is that you might respond to the medication for the disease and feel much better very soon. Good luck!
Nancy asks…
Why should IBS – Colitis – Crohn’s sufferer’s read this?
I’ll answer my own question here as I wasn’t sure how else to get this information out there for everyone to read and judge for themselves.
http://opendiary.com/entrylist.asp?authorcode=A504373
I strongly urge you to read this story. It’s my own battle with severe ulcerative colitis. I’m not a Dr. & I’m not selling anything. This is just valuable information.
I suffered for years and years before making a life or death decision. What I learned saved my life, and if you suffer as I have, hopefully you’ll look into the same answer that I found & start feeling better yourselves.
It’s a miserable illness and there is no official cure. I can tell you this though…I have it as severe as one can, all throughout my large intestine up to the ileium, and today…I can eat ice cream and fruit with the skin on it, and thai food, and so can you. Please read on & get well soon.
Thanks CumQuaT for sharing that. I too have had the ulcers in my mouth, in fact I had those for the first time 2 months before my initial break out of Colitis, but it was passed off from the Dr as stress (considering my life at the time it made perfect sense) He explained the occurrence similar to “hives” (which one can get when extrodinarily stressed.)
This is also why I’m a firm believer that in time Dr’s will come to acknowledge that stress (along with other factors) indeed can “cause” Crohn’s & Colitis…not just cause the relapses.
Deal with the stress factors in your life if you want to help deal with these diseases at least.
As for coffee…well… I’m drinking some now, lol…with cream I might add 
Carbonated beverages are the only thing I shy away from, not entirely…but mostly.
