Good luck Tina! There is hope. If it comes back Chron's it would appear that they caught it at the perfect time. Since you don't seem to be suffering with full blown Chron's symptoms I can tell you that a woman I work with's daughter was diagnosed a year ago. She always thought she had IBS all these years until one night she developed severe pain and ended up in the ER. They did loads of blood work and I think an CT Scan or US of her abdomen. This revealed a narrowing in the illeum or somewhere there which indicated the suspicion for Chron's. Never did they do a Endoscopy which I thought was what diagnosed chron's but I only have read that on these boards so who knows. Her blood count was a little low, not bad. They put her on a common Chron's drug, (Asacol I think)but honestly I think the only thing she complains about now is bloating. She can still drink alcohol, eat exotic foods. I keep thinking "man my IBS is way worse than her Chron's"! I don't know maybe the drugs she is on actually helped her IBS symptoms too. I don't know but the point is, I think she's kinda like your case and is manageable. If you do have it you should actually feel better that you know the cause of your symptoms. I often wonder when I get terrible flare ups if I have some other dreaded disease. But sometimes it would make me feel better if there were rhyme or reason to my attacks!

Good luck with the test. Tommy is a sweetie for going with ya. I'm sure he didn't have to think twice about accomanying his new bride for a yicky test! I told ya he's a keeper. Those Aries men......THEY ARE THE GREATEST! I know, I have one!!!!!
