Every morning starts off with a burst of blood out of the wazoo, then several bloody poops, a few not so bloody and several trips of just blood and blood chunks. Just filled the toilet with a whole lot of ..you guessed it - blood. Wnet to a new GI last week and told him of this and he said - sounds like you have UC and NOT Crohn's. So he gave me my annual colonoscopy last Friday - diagnosis - Crohn's! I have several ulcers spaced apart throughout my colon which is evidently indicative of Crohn's rather than UC. However, he said it doesn't look too bad. He really wants to put me on oral predisone but is also considering Humira - going on Wednesday for a TB test.
Question is - I saw nothing on my colonoscopy that I would think would create SO MUCH BLOOD. Could there be something else seriously wrong further up the chain that the colonoscopy couldn't see????
