Stacey, a 25 year old patient of yours comes to your office reporting some malaise, mild diarrhea, abdominal cramping and tenderness, loss of appetite. unintended weight loss of approx 10 pounds in the last three months, and mild fever on and off. This has been going on “for a few months now”. She doesn’t need to be seen in the office very often. Past medical history is positive for scleritis. Given her history and current complaint, which of these potential diagnoses should you be most suspicious of?
