Living with no answers

I was diagnosed with Crohn's-Colitis last year. I've had symptoms all my life, but they were always played off as being a picky eater. I would always end up in the washroom after eating and it became a running joke. Then I started getting worsening symptoms and after my gallbladder was removed, I was told I had Bile Salts diarrhea from not having a gallbladder, and IBS.
I kept having extreme pains, cramps, and had to be in areas where I knew where the washrooms were. Working was a nightmare but then I had open heart surgery and that's when things got even worse.

Eventually it took me having an episode of bleeding to be seen by my GI Doctor who ordered a flex-sig scope. Then a full colonoscopy when those came back positive for inflammation. Then, diagnosed with Colitis. 2 weeks of hospitalization and I was upgraded to Crohn's-Colitis due to my upper GI symptoms as well.

I failed Entyvio but now with Remicade, my symptoms have not disappeared but diminished enough that the pain isn't as bad.

It's taken a lot out of me, physically and mentally, as I have a lot of other health issues but I'm grateful to have an amazing Dr, GI Dr and team to help me. Having answers was a huge relief!
