Recently diagnosed w/ crohn's. i suspect misdiagnosis because of mild symptoms & my age. i'm 31; isn't crohn's typically severe & found @ younger age?

Anything is possible: Yes, you may have been misdiagnosed so if you're worried about this, get a 2nd opinion. But don't second guess your doc based upon severity ; age. Check out http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/crohns-disease/ds00104 ; http://www.Ccfa.Org/what-are-crohns-and-colitis/what-is-crohns-disease/. Severity varies during disease. Unfortunately, you're still in high risk age group.
