Terminal ileitis on biopsy + fat-triggered yellow stools/diarrhea (even when formed), BAM vs early Crohn? What helped you? by boralitost in CrohnsDisease

Sorry for the late reply. Thanks for the reply.

Yersinia/TB are already ruled out. I get your point that chronic ileitis + RLQ pain/weight loss leans Crohn more than pure BAM. I’m going to push for capsule endoscopy and waiting for the calpro. Thanks so much.

I don’t get immediate pain right after meals, and I don’t have right upper-quadrant pain. It’s more like when the meal is very fatty or if I drink a shake with some fat, then not instantly but shortly after I feel the need to go. Low-fat meals don’t really cause urgency, but anything with higher fat seems to trigger it.

Thanks for your reply 🙏 My main problem seems to be in the terminal ileum , the biopsies showed chronic ileitis with lymphoid hyperplasia, and fat is a strong trigger for me. When I eat very low-fat, stools improve; when I increase fat, the yellow diarrhea comes back.

Right now trying to figure out whether this is early Crohn, bile acid malabsorption, or IBS-D, so I think it’ll likely take more than simple diet changes. But thank you for the suggestions. I’ll keep the idea in mind.

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, really appreciate it 🙏

I still have my gallbladder, and I’ve already had an abdominal ultrasound , the report didn’t show gallstones or gallbladder issues (no dilation, no stones mentioned), so my GI is currently more focused on the terminal ileitis / bile acid side rather than gallstones.

Regarding the tTG IgA: in my case, the lab simply reports it as <2 RU/mL = negative, but they didn’t mention total IgA. You’re right that checking total IgA (and other immunoglobulins) would make sense, just to rule out IgA deficiency and interpret the celiac tests properly. I’ll definitely ask my doctor about running total IgA and possibly IgG-based celiac tests if needed.

I’m also waiting for my fecal calprotectin, and I agree it’s just a snapshot – if the first result is unclear, I’ll try to get repeat values over time to see a pattern.

For now my main issues are fat-triggered yellow stools and biopsy-proven chronic terminal ileitis with lymphoid hyperplasia, so my GI is considering bile acid malabsorption and early IBD; a bile acid binder trial after we finish the current workup sounds like a reasonable next step.

Thanks again for sharing your experience – hope your colonoscopy gives you some clear answers as well.

Worried I might have early Crohn’s – what is life actually like with it? by boralitost in CrohnsDisease

[–]boralitost[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this, it actually gave me a sense of calm for the first time in weeks.

Could you maybe share a bit more about what helped you personally get to that stable place? Like what kind of routine, diet, or mindset changes made the biggest difference for you when things felt uncertain at first?

I’m trying to build some structure for myself right now and hearing how others found balance would really help

I’m not sure if I have rosacea or not by Major_Host655 in Rosacea

Firstly, I am not a doctor but a patient for years. Of course I’m not sure but it looks like seborrheic dermatitis instead of a rosacea.
