Hi
I have IBD now for 3 months.
My first colonscopy is planned for 29 july.
I was very quick in finding my own diagnose.
Just as i did with my other immune disease (IC-bladder).
PS: calprotectin test was 107 at day 21 of disease onset.
I started with pentasa after 3 weeks of IBD.
after 1 day I hit remission for 4 days!
Then symptoms came gradually back.
Then my doctor put me on entocort.
again.. after 2 or 3 days.. feeling much better!
from 8-10BMs to 1 or 2 a day!
Now I have some good days with minimal symptoms, and some bad days with little cramps pain and disconfort. still max 2 BMs.
Now the question: Is the GI specialist going to make a wrong diagnose with the colonscopy? I am 3 months young in disease onset. Plus, I am on entocort and calming inflammation. I think its possible that he will see notting. I think there will be only some microscopic inflammation going on. I think this disease is to young (few months) and under treatment with entocort.
How can be sure I wont get misdiagnosed??
stop the meds 7 days before colonscopy?
have a conversation with GI and tell him this? and asking if he wants to take biopsy in each part of the GI tract?
greets
