I'm new to this forum and I had my first colonoscopy in the beginning of december as they suspected Crohns because they couldn't figure anything else out.. all my blood work was normal but the only thing was my inflammation marker was a bit higher than usual but not as high as most cases of crohns as it was apparently very mild so we did a colonoscopy anyways...after having it done they said they found mild inflammation with the "clinical suspicion of Crohns" with a question mark at the end... my GI said it was Crohns but a big question mark at the end definitely doesn't confirm that for me.
anyways, I went and saw a Naturopath and got my food intolerance tests done and found out I was intolerant to all dairy including eggs, red meat, gluten and a bit of corn... I cut it out of my diet and I have no problems now, they than prescribed me budesonide to take for 2 months to help... but even taking this, i cheated on my food diet one day and ate pizza and i got extremely sick so this makes me feel like maybe it's not crohns and maybe it is food allergies because i get sick any time i eat any of those foods even though I'm on medication...my GI seems stuck in her ways and she only started last June where as the Naturopath said it could be just the food as they cause the same sort of problems.. any advice on what anyone thinks would be great... I don't know what to think of it because my GI apparently "doesn't believe in food allergies" affecting Crohns which is a big red flag for me considering when I eat what I was told not to eat is the only time I've been sick in a month and a bit now..
This is all very confusing and I don't know what to make of it and it's very frusterating as well not knowing what is actually happening
