colonoscopy with prednisone?
Will prednisone mask the results of a colonoscopy??
So - I'm scheduled to have another exciting and enjoyable colonoscopy.
I'm on pentasa right now, and I've had the same symptoms since my last appointment (frequent BMs, urgency, can't gain weight). My GI doctor wants to do a colonoscopy to see how best to treat my Crohn's, since th pentasa doesn't sem to be working. He just put me on prednisone to calm my bowels down, but then won't the colonoscopy results show my insides differently? Won't it make it look better than they really are?
