Hello,
I had a routine colonoscopy a month ago (follow up after 5 years) doc found one small polyp (removed and benign) and a small "apthous ulcer" in my ileum. The biopsy of the ulcer came back as "non=crohns". However based on this ulcer and some lower right quadrand pain (low level comes and goes). Doc has decided I have crohns disease and has prescribed pentasa.
I have no other symptoms of CD. No other pain, diahreah, weight loss (im actually over weight). I am 52 years old. I will be having a CT scan next week.
I just don't think i have it (or im paddling up de nile):ybiggrin:. What other tests should I get done? I will seeing my GP doc and looking for a second opinion......hope to find a local but very good GI doc for 2nd opinion.
Input and advice please!!
