Hi All,
Since November of 2016, I have been having on and off lower right side pain, feeling bloated and gassy.
I did a colonoscopy and upper endoscopy on Jan 31. My GI saw a single 5mm ulcer in the terminal ileum and biopsy was taken. I went back two weeks later for the results, GI said pathologist said it was inflammation but cannot confirmed that it was crohn. My GI wants me to do the pill cam procedure to get more information.
My questions: doesn't biopsy alone could confirm it is crohn? And if it is not crohn, what other things could cause ulcer or inflammation in the ileum?
thank you. :sign0085:
