I have nausea/vomiting, constipation/diarrhea, pain in the middle and lower right side of my abdomen, pain in my lower right hand side of the back, I'm always tired and have lost weight.
At first we thought that I had a bowel obstruction. But they've ruled that out with the many tests that I've had done (colonoscopy, endoscope, CT scan, x-rays, blood work).
I am always nauseated and in pain. There are days when the nausea is so bad that I can't even hold water down and have to stay in bed with a heating pad on just to be a little comfortable.
My stomach was enflamed when they did the endoscope but they didn't find anything out through the test.
I've lost 22 pounds since the first week of September when the symptoms became worse this worries me since I'm now only 106 pounds. I'm very dehydrated and feel horrible every time I eat anything, even crackers.

I wanted to respond to this post because my 18 year old daughter is going throught the same symptoms. She has been through a lot since she was 12 years old. She was diagnosed with ulcerative cholitis at 14 and after a long bout of medicines and procedures, her colon was so deteriorated; at 16 she had her whole colon removed. She has had more endoscopies and colonoscopies than you can imagine. She did well for about two years with no symptoms. A full colectomy is the only answer to ulcerative cholitis and it worked for that disease. Let me be clear that I do not think any of you have this, I am just giving you some background information of my daughter. They believe now that she may have started developing chrones disease. This can happen with about 5% of people that have had ulcerative cholitis, however it is very difficult to tell because your bodies antibodies do not change when you have a blood test. It shows that she has ulcerative cholitis, which is impossible due to the whole colon being removed. She had a stricture about five weeks ago and they did a procedure to relax the stricture and she started going to the bathroom again. Everyting seemed fine for about a day or two but then she started with the symptoms that your describing. We are headed into the hospital this morning for more tests. She has constant pain in her stomach everytime she eats. The pain is so bad that she gets nausuaited and almost passes out. She has lost about 10 pounds and only weighs 125 pound now. She said the pain is hard to describe and is not like cramps. The pain comes in waves and only happens when she eats. I have asked the doctor to do more tests to see if they can be sure it is chrones disease and also test for alergies such as gluten or lactose? I am at a loss with these symptoms and am grasping at straws. I will keep you posted if we find anything out and please let me know if you get any answers.
