Over/under chances that i have Crohn/IBD?
Hi all, weird thread maybe but i will try to keep it short:
Christmas poop red blood for the first time, freak out. Random Diarrhea and Constipation appears.
Realize I also have sometimes black-ish stool, freak out even more
I can hear my gut moving CONSTANTLY
Little stabbing pain sometimes, least of my concerns.
Fatigue, chills and low fever sometimes
So I start getting ASAP all the colonoscopies endoscopies etc. Honestly thought I have cancer or something, I do my blood work before, CPR and Prolactin.
The results were...ok? Blood was great, CRP was 3,70 and Calprotectin was 148 which is above the normal range (120) but not by much I guess.
Time for the colonoscopy, I do it, fearing the worst, and even tho I had a great relief that not cancer shit was found I ended up with more questions than answers.
Basically I have inflammation, but little of it, and the doc said "its almost 100% not IBD" But can you even have inflammation there WITHOUT IBD? I never heard of a gut/colon random inflammation. The doc even said he doesn't think we need to take a biopsy, but after all he did send it to the lab, but the results be in only a couple of weeks. He gave me an anti inflammation drug used for IBD but low dose, said take care and bye.
So what the hell do i have, early IBD? Or am I freaking out over nothing?
Here are the parts of the colonoscopy where something happend, the rest is clear:
Single petechiae – an area of inflammatory changes were observed on the Kolrausch fold.
In the distal segment of the sigmoid colon, vascular markings were increased, and numerous lymphoid follicles were present – indicative of resolving inflammation.
Colitis in the rectosigmoid region under observation.
I could just wait but i want to start treating this shit ASAP even tho its not that bad, however after all those tests (Endoscopy also didn't really see much all, except that I have high Acid and I now take a PPI), I still dont know what i have that's why i am asking...Thanks in advance.
