[melissalwatson]

I have been struggling with stoamch issues cor close to 4 months now.. the first week it started with a stomach ache and a fever that only lasted about 24 hours ... however the stomach cramps and diarrhea continued and hasn't stopped .. i also sometimes just have a mucus come out.. or many little pieces ..some days are better than others but every day I have diarrhea some days I have cramps and pains and others I dont .. I saw my general physician and they did stool and blood samples all came back negative so I was referred out to a gasternologist .. befofe I could go I.had a bad day with aweFul pain I went to urgent care and blood work ordered to rule out infection and it did next I had a ct scan again nothing .. I went to specialists and acolonoscopywas ordered .. result was a polyp was removed minor hemroids slightinflammationin rectum and intestines.. so the nurse who called me told me blood results showed border line of Crohn's but biopsy negative ? What does that even mean ?? I have another appt sokn but still daily diarrhea porridge like every am... and after I eat dinner my stomach gurggles for hours sometimes pain sometimes not ? I am so annoyed and want answers. . Do I have Crohn's? Do I need to change my diet ? Any advice or help

What they mean is they saw something in your blood test results that make them think Crohn's disease is possible (no idea what that might be). However, the results of your colonoscopy biopsy didn't not show Crohn's disease.

Do you have Crohn's? Maybe, maybe not. Have your GI continue with testing until they do figure out what's going on.

All my best to you.

Hopefully further tests will provide definitive answers. There is an undiagnosed support group here. Perhaps that may be helpful with questions you may have.
