granuloma
Has anyone else had a granuloma found in their biopsy?
GI took a bx of an inflammed area of my TI and found a granuloma. My reasearch tells me that a granuloma indicates crohn's. Now, my doc is relucant to dx with this as he says "most likely" CD.
I am sitting at home overanalyzing my doctor's appt and what has been done to me since April as I wait to hear when I am going for my SBFT.
Doc was like I don't know why that granuloma is there....isn't it there because I have CD????? Argh. :ybatty: I don't understand why he is so hesitant. I do think I would get the dx of IBS (again!!) if I didn't have that granuloma. I have pain almost constantly and don't want to eat at all. I think the only reason I do eat is because I have to make food for my 3yr old and 17 month old.
And don't get me wrong, he was going to be 100% sure I don't have CD I would like that too but all my symptoms seem to be CD to me. I even get joint pain when I am really feeling like crap (no pun intended).
So I asked him what would be the other dx for the granuloma and he said acute infection (gastroenteritis aka "stomach flu"). Well, don't think I would have symptoms still. I think he wants some other test to say yes, it's CD.
SO I guess my question (if you have read this far into my frustrated rant) did you have a granuloma and was CD confirmed for you on more then one diagnostic test?
Thanks for reading. :heart:
