I was diagnosed as Coeliac about 7 months ago and have of course been strictly sticking to a GF diet. Feeling better in myself but still struggling with stomach issues, i am starting to feel perhaps I may also have crohn’s disease?

What are the overlap in symptom? Mine are struggling to go to the toilet even when feeling the need to, terrible lower left stomach pain (much worse when exercising, it makes me fold over in pain) Sometimes blood in stool. It is mentally getting to me a bit, thinking my pain and issues were over for this to continue.

Is this all just Coealic or could it be something else?

I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and took iron tablets prescribed by the GP, 3 times a day for 3 months. They messed up my stomach terribly and I stopped taking them, also i’m not the best at remembering anyway! Feeling horrid without them in terms of energy levels and joint pain. Is there an alternative the GP could provide? Something that wouldn’t kill my stomach? Do you think Iron helps?
