Best Answer

Methadone is an opioid and this class of drug has had some limited use in the control of pain in Crohns patients. Opioids are painkillers such as codeine, morphine and diamorphine (heroin). They work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Opioids are highly addictive and there are far better pain control options available.

The symptoms can be similar. The tests done however would confirm which disease the doctors were dealing with. H Pylori is distinctive as a corkscrew shaped gram negative bacterium. Biopsy from the stomach lining is used among other tests. Treatment in some cases can be somewhat similar with the use of metronidazole and other antibiotics. It can take several treatments but unlike crohns disease, h. pylori is curable.
