I'm feeling very confused and rather devastated, I've been living for 10 months with a diagnosis of crohns based on CT findings, symptoms and colonoscopy findings. Since then I have had an endoscopy (inflammation found in oesophagus, initially thought to be barratts oesophagus but later ruled out), a small bowel series (results described by GI as `iffy`) and a pill cam. Got the results yesterday that the pill cam was clear and showed nothing!!
What I can't understand is that everyday I have pain in the LRQ, exactly where ulceration was found during my colonoscopy, biopsies taken at that time came back as non-specific, my CRP was 100 and a feacal calprotectin was 232.
I know 10 months is really no time at all but I was devastated at the start cos I have diabetes too and the thought of trying manage both was totally overwhelming. My dietician doesn't see that my symptoms are IBS. I really don't know what to think and would appreciate any pearls of wisdom please. I'm following the FODMAP diet until I see my GI so I can say it didn't make a difference, the only thing I need to cut out is avocados and broccoli.
Please help and thank you for reading.
