Crohn's or what? Need aid asap!?
I'm a 15 year old female and have be sick for the past 1 1/2 years but have had stomach problems for 5 years very soon. I have went through every blood, urine, and stool test possible, endoscopy/colonoscopy, abdominal ct, upper gi, and most recently a sweat chloride test. I'm supposed to be going through a capsule endoscopy soon, and be getting the rest of my exam results back (few blood and stool).
I tested positive for antibodies for Chron's, back when the inflammation in my stomach and colon be biopsied the results came back inconclusive. Right after the procedure my GI doc started me on prednisone back have now weaned me off because he is not sure if I have Chron's in a minute. Is it still possible that I have Crohn's?
I also tested high borderline on my sweat test and on the repeat my plane was 59 (60 is positive) and am waiting for my blood test results to see if I have cystic fibrosis.
The doctors are giving up and classifying me as have an eating disorder, but I love food, am not afraid of it, and want to gain weight.
What is wrong with me?
Here are my symptoms ~
* Nausea
* Extremely severe sharp stabbing constant stomach discomfort
* Diarrhea
* Night fevers
* Headaches in the morning
* Fatigue
* Indigestion and GERD
* Unintentional weight loss (went from 120lbs to 85lbs at 5'8" surrounded by about 4 months)
* Back and joint pain surrounded by knees and hips
I have been lactose intolerant for 5 years now.
My parents own Kaiser insurance so that is my source for doctors.

Hmm not to freak you out but I know this because I read it only yesterday so I thought I'd mention it, almost all of them are symptoms of something call Lymphoma, which is unfortunately a cancer.
specifically the fatigue, stomach pain, night sweats (night sweats are bad) diarrea and bulk loss.
Saying that, it could be many other things. It could also be a mix of more than 1 thing. You didn't mention IBS for some reason ? Have you be tested for allergies and other sensitivities or intolerance. Do you get a lot of gas? That seems to be strangely missing, for adjectives the digestive problems you are having. Are you sure you are not gluten intolerant either/celiac disease ? Have you been tested for vitamin deficiencies ?
I am guessing adjectives the above have been ruled out, good luck near your diagnosis, you should post back if /when you find out so that the info can be there for people within the future :)
future yous :)
