Hi there!
I've been posting a lot recently (im sorry)
Basically my story is quite complex but as well biopsies showing possible crohns they have also shown a high number of mast cells. But I do not eat so I cannot cut out histamine from my diet. I am also on sodium cromoglicate but they repeated biopsies and found it had not reduced the mast cell numbers in the stomach. Wondering if anyone else has been in the same position? My biopsies showed:
Small bowel: There is patchy mild acute inflammation
Ileum: Fragment of granulation tissue. Shows an area of active chronic inflammation with ulceration. There is patchy mild-moderate inflammation.
Colon: focal cryptitis
comments: features are those of a patchy mildly active ileocolitis. The appearences are non-specific
Gastric: focal mild increase in inflammatory cells within the lamina propia with occasional intraepithlial neutrophils and a single crypt abscess. The features are those of a focal active chronic gastritis suggestive of upper GI tract involvment by crohns disease
Mast cell numbers exceeded 30.
