Hi.

I have had stomach problems all my life. I am 25 now. When I was 18 I had ulcers and took nexus to cure it.

I have been throwing up almost daily for a long time.

Now as I'm older my stomach problems have not gone away. I recently went back to doctor and was prescribed ratio-domperidone.

Now in situations where I would have normally puked, I am finding myself glued to toilet.

I have been reading about crohns and I do have a lot of the symptoms. Ones for sure are lactose and a problem digesting mushrooms. There have been times where I have eaten mushrooms. Threw up 5 hours later and the mushrooms were still intact. Nasty.

I am considering going back to ask my doctor to test. Any questions you can ask to help me in my diagnosis. To prove or disprove that I may have it.

Welcome Jimmy.Do you have any blood or mucous in your stools?That was my first sign.Have you ever had a colonoscopy?

No, no

And I'd love not to get one

Pretty sure that is how you get a Crohn's diagnosis.They have to biopsy tissue for a accurate diagnosis.It really is not that bad.I have had so many, I lost count.The "prep" is the worst part....I wouldent wish that on any of my enemies (Well, maybe..LOL).

A big clue for us was bloody stool and inability to take nsaids....
