What Are The Symptoms Of Crohn S Disease?
In the last 6 months I ve been getting what my doctor thinks is the stomach flu. I ve gotten it 4 times. I get nausea/vomiting, diareaha, fever/chills, and a very tender and painful abdomen. I usually only get the stomach flu once every 4 years so this is very uncommon. They at one point thought I had appendicitis because my white blood count was elevated but my doctor believes it s just the flu or IBS and my mom thinks that it may be larger than IBS or the stomach flu. She thinks I may have Crohn s Disease. I know she s probably expecting the worst but I do know that this can t just be a stomach bug every time. Should I ask for a colonoscopy or to be tested for it?

If you are more than 50 yrs and having family history also then you should definitely do that and confirm the diagnosis.
