I was diagnosed with Crohn's when I was 11.
I'm 25 now and have been unwell for the past 2 years. I've failed Azathioprine, Infliximab and Ustekinumab.
Only the dreaded Prednisolone gives me relief.
When I was first diagnosed with CD aged 11 I had bloody diarrhoea. But these days I never have blood in my diarrhoea.
Today I came across Microscopic Colitis and understand that diarrhoea without blood is a key symptom.
I had a colonoscopy this week showing mild inflammation.
Will the biopsy results definitely prove whether I have MC?
Can you have CD and MC?
Any advice or similar stories would be much appreciated!
TLDR: Diagnosed with CD years ago but think I may have MC.
