Hi All
I was dx with crohns in my terminal ileum around 13 years ago. I had a resection (ileum) 11 years ago and have been mostly in remission since the resection. I had strictureplasty surgery in 2012 which also showed no crohns was present or active in my ileum.
However for the last 3 months or so I have been experiencing crohns like symptoms. I had a colonoscopy last week which showed some inflamamtion in the large bowel, near the rectum. But none in the ileum. My pain is more central (around and to the left of belly button) that to the lower right side. Although I am still also experiencing some lower right sided pain.
My question is - has anyone ever encountered a situation where they had crohns in the small bowel and were later diagnosed with crohns in the large bowel as well. Is this common?
Thanks
