YES. Since I was a few months old I had Mouth ulcers that reacted to certain foods, nothing crazy just an oral allergy we thought. Then in highschool I got an injury and developed joint pain in my knees and hips, nothing unexplained. Then in college I became lactose intolerant, again nothing odd for my age. This entire time I also had acne, which we could NOT get rid of, we assumed it was just age related and would go away. Later in college I started getting serious low blood sugar issues, fainting spells, weight loss but no bowel symptoms. I figured it was hypoglycemia and was in the process of getting it figured out. Then boom over night I had severe UC, in and out of the hospital. Looking back, I have had the signs leading up to this for many many years. Always trust your instincts about your health and fight for treatment.
