Thanks guys Life is good... in all aspects. I'm seeing a new doctor (the only one that has said they would fix me). She is running lots of tests to see if I have a food allergy. TONS of people are misdiagnosed with Crohn's. I could be allergic to something that's in a lot of the foods we eat - wheat, corn, sugar, etc. If we figure out what it is, great! If not, we'll keep trying new things. Most mainstream docs just want to throw meds at you. That's fine, if they work. But everything I've taken so far just masks the symptoms (pain, diarrhea, etc.) There is not cure for Crohn’s, but I have met two people that go to this new doctor that have NO symptoms and are taking NO meds. It’s all controlled with diet and supplements (IV vitamins, shakes, etc.) I’m optimistic that the worst is behind me.
