IMPRESSION : * ? Crohn's disease

I want to know from you friends why this question mark before my Crohn's disease. Is it sure a case of Crohn's disease? Is it very major form of the disease?

Hello Asish
Looks as if it might be crohn's but the results of the biopsies are needed before a final diagnosis can be made.
There are other things that might be present so your GI is doing the right thing with the query.
Once the lab reports are available then a diagnosis can be made.
Feel better soon
Hugs and best wishes

What Trysha said.

Pathologist must weigh in on mucosal structural changes typical of Crohn's.

but it sounds like you must be in a lot of pain. Hope they get you on something to help real soon.

No i am not at all in pain Not even a bit. The only problem i face is passing stool conveniently. Havt to take bathroom stops for 4 to 5 times a day. I have a very good appetite I don't pass blood but mucus is there but not that much. Gastric trouble a bit. Other than this i've no other problem

It's remarkable what causes one person pain and not another.

Well, take it from me, if you have Crohn's you are pretty sick even if you generally feel OK. The doctor is likely to prescribe medications like 6-MP to treat you but I'm getting ahead of myself. Wait for the diagnosis and your doctor's recommendations.
