I have been diagnosed with IBS I also constantly I m tired my abdomen swells extends to the point where I look 6 months pregnant after I eat every time I eat I ve had cramps all the time like dull sharp shooting pains throughout my abdomen I ve gone to the emergency room I have tried to see a GI again however I have no insurance now and it s acting up again do you think it s possible I could have Crohn s disease? And if so how do I get them to test me for it sometimes I feel like they look at me like they don t know what I m talking about with my symptoms
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my clinical experience, the symptoms may or may not be Crohn`s disease.
* I recommend to undertake basic lab tests, CT scan of the abdomen & pelvis with upper GI scopy and colonoscopy for the final diagnosis and further management guidelines.
