Crohn's or what? Need help asap!!!?I'm a 15 year old female and have been sick for the past 1 1/2 years but have had stomach problems for 5 years now. I have went through every blood, urine, and stool test imaginable, endoscopy/colonoscopy, abdominal ct, upper gi, and most recently a sweat chloride test. I'm supposed to be going through a capsule endoscopy soon, and be getting the rest of my test results back (few blood and stool).
I tested positive for antibodies for Chron's, back when the inflammation in my stomach and colon were biopsied the results came back inconclusive. Right after the procedure my GI doc started me on prednisone back has now weaned me off because he is not sure if I have Chron's now. Is it still possible that I have Crohn's?
I also tested high borderline on my sweat test and on the repeat my level was 59 (60 is positive) and am waiting for my blood test results to see if I have cystic fibrosis.
The doctors are giving up and classifying me as having an eating disorder, but I love food, am not afraid of it, and want to gain weight.
What is wrong with me?????
Here are my symptoms ~
* Nausea
* Extremely severe sharp stabbing constant stomach pain
* Diarrhea
* Night fevers
* Headaches in the morning
* Fatigue
* Indigestion and GERD
* Unintentional weight loss (went from 120lbs to 85lbs at 5'8" in about 4 months)
* Back and joint pain in knees and hips
I have been lactose intolerant for 5 years now.

wrong section sweetie - you need the health section - I had UC which is very similar, and it sounds as though you may have Chrons- the best think to do is to speak to your doctor - there are treatments that can control it but you can never cure it - I wish you all the best.
