Need more info: I assume you are consulting with a gastroenterologist. Crohn's is sometimes difficult to treat I would advise to see him/her or see another gastroenterologist for a second opinion.

I eat flour tortillas or country biscuits and my body flares up. I get flush, my heart rate kicks up and I have hemorrhoids that push out and spray blood during bowel movements. Doctor tests say no celiac disease or Crohns. What else could it be?
