Hi there,
I have been told by a several doctors that they cannot diagnose me with a form of IBD at this time.
I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience to mine:
-I was diagnosed with celiac disease 4 years ago, so I have an established GI
-last month i started getting bad abdominal pain and diarrhea, and went to the doctor right away
-doctors ran every test under the sun on me. the only one that came back abnormal was the fecal calprotectin (elevated)
-last week i had an endoscopy/colonoscopy and the only finding was inflammation in my ileum. Biopsies revealed granulomas.
-MRI didn't show evidence of Crohn's
Doctors keep asking me if I have any family history of IBD/Crohn's/colitis.
My stomach still really hurts but no one will tell me what I have. I think they genuinely don't know.
My father thinks perhaps I'm in the very early stages of Crohn's?
I'm extremely frustrated, so any input that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
