Hi there! I know this might sound strange, but have you tried taking Ebastine to help remedy the symptoms? I am not diagnosed with Crohns disease but I've had similar problems and Ebastine has helped me a lot. I have taken one small pill every day for the last 3-4 years and it has made all the difference, and as soon as I stop taking them my issues start to reappear. Might be worth trying, although it's probably a long shot! :-)

It feels like I'm in a fight for my life so I'll take any weapons I can get!

Ebastine sounds interesting, I'm unsure about how its mechanism of action (antihistamine) would assist but there must be a reason why its helping you.

I'll definetly give this a google.

It always fills my heart with love when strangers take time out of their day to try and help me. Humans are good.

Unfortunately there are a lot of conditions that can affect your bowel, if you aren’t diagnosed with IBD then it could be a lot of other things. If an antihistamine helps you then could it be possible your condition is an intolerance or minor allergy? Those are things that get a lot of benefit from antihistamines. Have you been checked for celiac?
