Four years ago I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease after being admitted by emergency room officials with an intestinal blockage. I have never had any of the symptoms of Crohn's like diarrhea and often feel I have been misdiagnosed or something else is wrong too. I am only 20, but I always feel fatigued and older than I am.
After every meal, loud gurgling noises come from my lower abdominal area, and usually, it feels like pressure is released, and only then do I feel relief. The noises are embarrassing, and the discomfort is expected. My gastroenterologist has given me medications for IBS, Crohn's, and acid reflux, and none of them seem to be doing the trick.
It has to be something with my diet. Different foods cause different effects to the bloating and discomfort. I just don't know what is triggering it exactly. I have seen enough specialists, and they all immediately jump to IBS, but these medications do not help.
4 colonoscopies have not been able to detect anything new so who knows. Please let me know of any diet changes that I may want to try.

Try psyllium fiber. This is sold under many brand names at your supermarkets and drug stores.
MRE maybe help you conform the definite diagnosis.
