Thanks for the quick reply Pen! I live in the U.S. I know i had at least 2 biopsies taken in different areas, both came back negative. I was more wondering if the negative granular mucosa meant it was unrelated to crohn's or UC. My Dr said he was very confident it wasn't IBD and that the lab...

Hey everyone, my doctor just called today to let me know that my biopsy results were negative for both crohn's and UC. I had a colonoscopy/ upper three weeks ago and they found some gastro erythema in my esophogus/ stomach, along with granualized mucosa in my cecum. The second one was more...

I just got my biopsy results back for my endoscopy. The two things noted were a gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema in the lower third of my esophagus, and patchy mildly erythematous mucous (with no bleeding) in my gastric antrum. Both areas were biopsied and were apparently...

I'm stuck in limbo waiting for my GI to get back to me with my colonoscopy/endoscopy results, which I probably won't get for another month when my next appointment is... I was just wondering if anyone with IBD has completely normal bowel movements. I've had bouts of severe stomach pain and...

bump for more feedback, please

Thanks for the quick reply! I had biopsies taken basically everywhere, even the healthy parts of my stomach. I had just been suffering from severe stomach pain up until about a month ago when I first saw maroonish blood when wiping. That happened three times, which prompted me to schedule the...

Hey guys, I just got back from my colonoscopy a little while ago (still a little loopy on the anesthesia), I got the immediate results but didn't have a chance to speak with my GI about them (and my next appointment is in a month). The good news is that he didn't see any ulcerations anywhere. I...

I just finished my second bottle of moviprep, and am currently stuck on the toilet. I can't wait to get this over with and eat some food! If prep is supposed to the be worst part, I think i'll be in good shape for tomorrow. I'm slightly worried what the scopes might find, but I'd rather get some...

Thanks again everyone. I'm also having the colo/endo at the same time. I just took the ducolax, t-minus 2 hours until I start moviprep.

Thanks for the great replies guys. I'm from the U.S.. I'm supposed to take some bisacodyl tablets tomorrow and then start drinking moviprep solution. I got some sort of kit, so i'm not entirely sure what's in it

I have my first colonoscopy scheduled for the 23rd (2 days) and wanted to get some advice. I keep reading that the prep is worse than the actual scope itself, but why is that? Does the drink just taste really bad or does it make you constantly have to go to the bathroom? My scope is scheduled...

thanks shazz! I've recently been getting somewhat gaseous after eating. I don't get cramps or bloating I dont think, it's more like I can just feel the gas moving through my intestines. When I do release air, it smells different from my normal farts (definitely worse). Does anyone else...

What were your symptoms when you were first diagnosed? I'm really hoping I don't get D later on

The diagnosis of UC hasn't been confirmed, it's just what my doctor here assumed it was. I haven't started any treatment for it yet as my colonoscopy isn't for another two weeks. Most of my symptoms do match UC, except for my lack of diarrhea. I was just wondering if people had similar experiences.

I think I had a bad flare 3 weeks ago. I had the most severe stomach pains i've felt so far, and noticed blood in my stool for the first time. That being said, my bowel movements were pretty normal. I've been having one a day since my symptoms started really (which i'm extremely thankful for)...

Thanks for the advice guys. It's a little more difficult because i'm sharing a bathroom with 3 other guys but I'll see if I can find any blood in my poop next time I notice it while wiping. I'm meeting with my doctor tomorrow, and I'll definitely have some follow up questions. Also in the past...

I've taken tylenol three times, other than that I don't think I've had any NSAIDs in the past 2 months

I wasn't officially diagnosed in the sense that they're 100% sure it's UC yet however, they've eliminated most cancer/ibs/ the other common illnesses that cause similar symptoms. I've been in college since late August and haven't had a chance to see my GI back in NY, I've just been going to the...

My GI recommended probiotics which I started taking for a week but stopped when I was put on omeprozole. I also stopped that within a week once the doctor confirmed it wasn't working. The only way I feel sick is when I get these terrible stomach pains (like right now/ for the past two hours :( )

Yep
