My dad has Crohn’s disease and I want to know if it can cause death, I’m really scard….He has crohn’s disease and also has colon infection, please help…………..I’M REALLY SCARD….HELP

Hi i have recently been diagnosed with crohn’s disease it affects my colon and small intestines , but latly i am having a flar up and i have been getting painful Mouth ulcers do you think this could be related to the crohn’s disease evan if it only affects these 2 areas ?

I am 14 and have Crohn’s Disease in my colon, and nowhere else. I have had it since I was three. I was looking at Crohn’s on a website called www.ehealthmd.com and it says ‘PEOPLE WITH CROHN’S DISEASE HAVE A SLIGHTLY HIGHER INCIDENCE OF COLON CANCER THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION!!!’ I am so freaked out! I don’t want to get colon cancer!!! It also says that Crohn’s patients should get regular screenings 8 years after diagnosis and it’s been more than that, and I only have colonoscopies every 3 or 4 years or less! I don’t want to get colon cancer. I didn’t even know that people with Crohn’s were more likely to get it.

I either have Crohn’s disease or colon cancer, on Thursday morning I go in for a colonoscopy.
I’m only 18 so I’m really nervous.
I know a lot about both things, but what do they do once they diagnose you?
Like, what’s the first step?
How soon after the colonoscopy will they know?

It all started out about the first week in December when I became very gassy and would fart way more than usual. About 2 days later I would have to go the bathroom 10 times a day with some bouts of diarrhea. For the next 10 days I would kept going to the bathroom upwards of 20-25 times a day with some diarrhea and blood. I went to the doctor and had an endoscopy, which showed some moderate inflammation in my transverse, and descending colon but everything else was normal. My blood test showed high monocytes and eosinophils but this could be due to my allergy with cats (my family has 2). My doctor then thought it was ulcer colitis but then changed his mind when he found a small obstruction in my intestine. As a result he put me on Entocort for Crohn’s Disease. However, it had no affect on me what so ever. Ever since December, I still go to the bathroom and poop out straight bright red blood every morning (NOT diarrhea) even though I’m on Prednisone, which now has my doctor thinking it could be an infection. Also on Prednisone, I’ve been having around 12-14 inch poops once a day.
My symptoms are just some bouts of diarrhea and constipation (going to the bathroom 20 times a day when not on Prednisone) with white oily mucus and straight blood in my stool. I’m always hungry and never get sick when I eat (This includes dairy). I don’t have any other symptoms of Crohn’s such as pain in my lower right part of my abdomen, rashes, joint pain, loss of appetite and weight, eye inflammation…. Basically, all of my symptoms are just intestinal so does this sound like Crohn’s still?
Also my stools have a very foul odor to them.
And I really don’t fart anymore since the first week in December.

What are some of the side effects and complications of crohn’s disease? Also can complications of the disease lead to colon cancer? Any help you can give me is much appreciated.

I have Crohn’s Disease and I’m afraid taking Colonex 700 would hurt my Crohn’s. Crohn’s is more of a reaction of the body to all the nasty bacteria we put in it than a disease but that’s what it’s called is a disease. Colonex 700 cleanses the colon of all that bacteria but my family won’t let me take it unless they know 100% that it will not harm me, and I’m only 17 so I have to do what my family says. Someone, help me!

Symptoms Include:
- Abdominal Pain/Discomfort
- Change in Bowl Stuff (constipation/the big D)
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Blood on Toliet Paper (back end)
- Fever that comes and goes
- Lower back discomfort (I do have scoliosis, but it’s never felt like this)
- Pain in abdomin feels like I’m hungry/full/or very uncomfortable
- Wakes me up at night for no reason
- Restless
- Trouble going to bathroom because it hurts (my rear end)

I have X-Rays on Friday that were clear except for the fact I had some stool backed up in my colon. So, I was put on a laxative to clean it out. I’ve been on it for 2 days, but I still have the pain. Ultra Sound showed nothing either. If this pain isn’t gone by Monday, we’re scheduling the test where I drink barium and they do X-Ray’s. Please tell me what you think this is. I was afraid it was Colon Cancer because my grandfather had it and I know Crohn’s Disease (sometimes) goes with Colon Cancer. Could it be that?

Don’t say "go to the Doc/ER".
No, this has been going on for a month and slowly, but surely, has progressed towards worse.

please let me know!! i have crohn’s disease and i was wondering…im pretty worried.

A. the cause of Crohn’s disease is known, whereas the cause of ulcerative coitis isnt known.
B. Ulcreative colitis is remitting, whereas Crohns disease is constant.
C.Patints with both conditions benefit equally well from surgery.
D. Crohns disease can be found anywhere in the digestive tract whereas ulcraive colitis is generally found in the colon and rectum.

I already have, and they just did X-Ray’s and assumed that the pain was caused by the constipation.
