Hey there, sorry you're suffering, It was my understanding that more people actually had crohn's in the small intestine? That being said - Mine is the large intestine (crohn's colitis)

An MRE or a pill camera.

I do, at the ileum.
I also thought that the small intestine was the most common place for Crohn's

Hi Shilpi! Crohn's is commonly found where the small bowel meets the large bowel in the terminal ileum (the small intestine). A pill camera is a very good tool to see the extent of your disease. The only problem is that it can become stuck if you have a stricture or scar tissue but your doctor can have you swallow a patency capsule that will dissolve if it doesn't pass. If it doesn't pass, they won't recommend swallowing the real thing or you might have to have surgery to remove it.

shilpi saha, I just wanted to let you know that I've changed the title of your thread so you can (hopefully) get some more responses.
