I've just come back from the consultant today, and am feeling confused I am convinced that I have got mild Crohns but he thinks it is unlikely-but possible. My sigmoidoscopy showed 'chronic mild patchy inflammation of unknown clinical significance'. When I had a flare up I had raised ESR, CRP and low folic acid. I've recently had a couple of bouts of episcleritis. I only get a 'flare up' of symptoms around once every ten months which lasts for a week-this started five years ago. He said that if it was Crohns the symptoms wouldnt resolve of their own accord after a week. He's now suggested a colonscopy and barium. I dont feel unwell enough to need any treatment at the moment, so not sure if there's any advantage to having these tests done..When I have had a flare up I feel dreadful, and worse than I did when I had appendicitis!
