Dealing with Crohn's Flares and Frustration

Hello! I’m 25 and I’ve had Crohns for a about 4 years now. As of late I think something is seriously up with my Crohns as well, I don’t eat as I should, pain and nausea are high, appetite is nonexistent to minor, and passing blood. I had a colonoscopy beginning of the month and it’s “normal”.

Hi, nice to meet you! I've had this issue before with Crohn's. I feel terrible but my labs and imaging come back normal and doctors tell me that everything is fine or that it's anxiety related or it's in my head. It's so incredibly frustrating and it makes me doubt myself. I'm sorry you've been dealing with such a tough time while switching meds. I hope you start feeling better soon!

Nice to meet you! Healthy people just don’t understand why normal test results can completely destroy and invalidate us rather than be reassuring. We don’t want bad results but we do want answers! Hopefully you find some soon

I haven’t had to deal with this with crohns but right now i’m having some bad problems with my joints. i’ve gotten x-rays, bloodwork, ect. but it all came back normal. something is wrong I just know it. It’s nice to meet you too!

It’s so frustrating when everything comes back “normal” on scans, especially when you know your body! I’m on TPN and my main crohns flare symptom is also mouth ulcers. I hardly absorb any nutrients and yet my scans look “fine”. Tell me how that works!???
