I’m male. 43y/o. I’ve been dealing with something terrible for 4 months. I have abdominal pains every day. But not always. And some days I barely have any. Other days are horrible. There are like 6 places they manifest. I have some other symptoms as well. I haven’t worked in almost 4 months because of the pain and extreme anxiety. I was convinced for the first couple months that I must have cancer. I started staying at my ex’s whenever my son would be there because I need someone around all the time to try to stay distracted from these issues. My anxiety has calmed some, and I’m trying to get back to my old self. I also think an anxiety attack may have set all this in motion. Now, in part from your videos, I’m thinking it may be chrohn’s.
Missed your face! Keep it up. No Crohn's here - but other issues, but I'm a curious person and love educating myself. I mean...doctors practice medicine on a daily, so no one has this down pat, right? Subscribed, liked, commented. Waiting for the next one! Welcome to TH-cam!!
Thank you for this. 22 male and battling this right now. I appreciate the candid approach. I often feel embarrassed to even have these issues and you helped me feel a lot better.
I had bowl problems most of my life and I first developed lactose intolerance when I was twelve so I cut out dairy. In my twenties I had endometriosis which also led to added severe bowl problems. Then more recently (age 33) my bowl issues seemed to change to mixed-IBS like symptoms including alternating chronic constipation and diarrhea, gas, and bloating. I also had quite bad GERD issues. They first said that it was likely mixed IBS but I ended up getting a colonoscopy and it turned out to be Crohns. I would say for most people with these issues definitely ask for a colonoscopy even if you are told it's just stress related or IBS. Not that those are not real problems, but some people are misdiagnosed. I have had other odd symptoms too like seborrheic dermatitis and raised itchy bumps I could feel under my skin that would come and go, chronic fatigue, night sweats, cold chills, random fevers to name a few. The list of foods I can no longer eat continues to grow...
