[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 496182, member: 1550"] My brother struggled with Crohn's since he was ten years old and he is now 53. I believe Crohn's includes a lot of diarrhea, bleeding, and fever. He also vomited a lot. He was stick skinny and looked white. The symptoms you are describing don't sound like Crohn's to me. Of course, I'm not a gastro man. I am thinking maybe it is something like GERD (gastric reflux) which causes nausea, lack of appetite, gas and fatigue. That is far easier to treat than Crohn's too. I have it...my gastro man told me there is really no diet for it. For that matter, there is no diet for Crohn's for my brother unless he has a flare up. He goes to top doctors (he has always had excellent insurance and makes a lot of money) and was told that he should judge for himself what he can and can not eat, but that dairy can kick it up. I hope you can get his symptoms under control so that you don't have to take him to a doctor. Any anxious person can develop stomach problems. I had irritable bowel syndrome at one time (not fun), but this does not sound like that either. Sounds more upper GI. It could also be an ulcer. in my opinion, if he isn't better soon, you really have no choice but to take him to a doctor...and have tests run...I hope it does not come to that. Has he tried a simple bland diet? Whenver my stomach acts up, that is the first thing I am told to do. You can google up a bland diet. It's not that tasty, but it's easy for the stomach to digest the foods. [/QUOTE]
