I went to see the gastro yesterday 'cause I'm still feeling like crap - cramps, nausea, general abdominal pain. And he's finally willing to admit that I should be feeling better by now. He's been waiting to see if it was just post-surgery healing.
So now he figures it's one of two things:
A) The surgeon didn't get all the active Crohn's disease.
B) I have bile acid diarrhea.
There's a valve between the small intestine and the large intestine which got removed when they did the surgery. (I didn't realize I had one nor that they took it out) When they remove your ileocecal valve, some people start having the bile acid diarrhea.
So I had blood drawn yesterday to see if I've got active inflammation with further testing possible once that comes back.
I really don't know which to hope for. At least they're starting to work on the issue now.
