I had my colonoscopy done yesterday morning. The GI doctor gave me the preliminary results in recovery, but he took several biopsies of the mucosa and removed a small polyp. His findings state that he did not visualize any inflammation of the colon wall. However, I read that polyps can be a sign of inflammation. The other biopsies are being tested for microscopic colitis. My question is, even though he did not actually see any inflammation during the scope, could I still have IBD? Is visual inflammation necessary? Thanks.
