Is the Crohns back?

[April2]

I'm having a few symptoms, they're not bad but they're making me wonder if I'm not in remission anymore, if the Crohns is back. I've been in remission for almost 2 years since they did surgery to remove an ulcerative mass in my small intestine. That was the only outbreak I had.
I'll just give the symptoms and see what you all think.

I've been having a lot more heartburn so I've been trying to be more careful what I'm eating.
I've also had very gassy, loose bm's for the most part but now it seems to be fluctuating with constipation? Like this morning, I had a loose bm and then this afternoon very small pellet like bm's suggesting constipation. I did this yesterday too. I also feel "full" down there like I still need to have a bm almost constant but can't seem to go??? It's just weird. I've already gone twice today, although the second time was just a little, but this feeling won't go away! What's that all about???

I also have been having right side pain just above my navel on down mostly on the right side. It feels almost like a stitch, like what you get when you've been running. Not a good feeling, but it's not terrible. I mean it's certainly bearable. I know it's not appendicitis because I had my appendix out 4 years ago. What does worry me is I had right side pain (but much worse) when they discovered the constriction in my small intestine (2 years ago) and saw and removed the mass there. It was on my right side, small intestine, near the terminal illeum. I'm actually feeling some pain on my scar from the surgery too.

Now, I don't want to get paranoid or think worst case scenario. I mean, it could be as simple as trapped gas, right? Or maybe I need to change my diet better. I do know certain foods don't agree with me, like dairy, etc., and I did get a little lax this last year, but I'm trying to watch more now.
There's no blood or weight loss but then there never was before I was diagnosed, either. It was a shock to be diagnosed with Crohns to begin with because I didn't show all the typical symptoms.

What do you all think? Could it just be diet related? Or does it sound like the Crohns has returned or that I have another flare up? I didn't even know when I did before. I guess I didn't pay that much attention to my body or got used to stuff. I don't know. I just was wondering if this could be the Crohns or IBS or just sensitivity to foods, etc.
What does this sound like? I'd just like a few opinions before I make an appointment with the GI doctor. I don't want to make an appointment if it's just something as silly as trapped gas or sensitivity to foods, etc.

Any ideas?

Thank you for sharing but as a Christian I don't feel I should go to psychics. I try to rely on God. I hope your daughter feels better soon! God bless. :o)

I actually took our daughter to a psychic (without telling her too much but I know that they can read into things because they are taught to...that's their talent...) anyways we were told that our daugther has Crohn's for a reason....and her spirit guide apparently is Dr. Blalock - i looked him up and apparently he was a famous doc at John Hopkins and came up with diagnosing Blue Baby syndrome or something like that...but that's a whole other discussion - we still don't know what to make of it LOL....

We went to the psychic fair for something fun to do - she can't really vacation when not in remission so we had to do something local....I'm not heavily/deeply into psychics or anything we just find the information interesting...

Sweetie, this isn't God's fault and I'm not going to blame him. It's just life. We live in an imperfect world. If we had heaven on earth what would we look forward to then we we do go to heaven? :o)

yeah could god obviously loves us so much he gave us crohns..........

Hey Once you have Crohn's disease it never completely goes away unless GOD heals you that is the only known cure for it. Besides that there is no cure.

I don't know. I don't know if it's the Crohns or just Acid Reflux bothering me right now. Oh, and someone suggested I may have a hiatal hernia. Great, I didn't even know what that is. Now I'm nervous about that. I guess I'd better go do my homework.
