Hi Toni: They did other tests on this woman I described with the crohns-Ct scan, xrays etc. From those tests they concluded it was crohn's-in the middle of the small intestine, rather than the end. The positive occult blood was the only *symptom* she had, besides the pain. She had no digestive complaints-no vomiting, diarrhea, nothing. Just pain. Then when they checked her for occult blood it was positive. I brought this up with my GI doc (because my gyn insisted I had GI disease) that I was worried about crohn's (didn't think of it until the gyn mentioned it) ever since I heard of this woman in the hospital. I think that is unusual though the way she presented. She was also kind of old for it to appear for the first time. You sound better today Toni. Your sister sounds like a character :<) Can't go out until the thing goes! That's funny. Chris
