Crohn's Disease, Colitis, or Anxiety?

Hey Em, Its a normal thing for the mind to wander on negative thoughts. It has been demonstrated that the average person has 300 negative thoughts a day. If you feel lousy its only natural that you will think you have something terrible. IBS is a FUNCTIONAL disorder since it is arrived at when the MDs find nothing else. Chrohn's disease can indeed be diagnosed with a blood test since there is an elevated white blood count due to an infection. My friend was diagnosed this way and its the most common way of diagnosing it. If you are being treated for yeast overgrowth, you should be replacing the good bacteria in your intestinal tract that the meds are wiping out. Go to the health food store and get a good brand of acidolphilis. I have had an overactive imagination about this condition. I felt that it has to be something bad since it doesnt go away. Diagnostic tests dont really solve the problem because in 6 months you'll get another attack and think that something MUST have developed in the past 6 months that they didnt pick up or something new developed. I got myself some therapy, and spoke at length to my family MD AND the GI doc. For YOUR peace of mind, if you had something as extreme as cancer or some serious disease, the chances of it going away at all are VERY SLIM! Those conditions exhibit a *continual* WORSENING of symptoms, NOT a come and go thing. HOpe I have been of some help.
