                        I have been diagnosed with crohn's for 8 yrs now.  I'm sure I had it long before actually diagnosed.  The smartest thing you can do for yourself in to see a Gastroenterologist for a thorough history and workup.  There is a web site for the crohn's and colitis foundation of america  (ccfa.org)  I think. The information there is endless.  There is also a bookstore.  You can purchase books on "irritable bowel syndrome" (that covers a multitude of whatever.  You can join the ccfa also.  Your life, I'm sure could be a whole lot saner if you are under the care of a GOOD  GI board certified doc.  You very possible could be managed with meds and much more comfortable.  Be good to yourself and get some medical help.  Good Luck  Paulie
