My story is I've had gastro issues since February. I've had a colonoscopy which showed previous inflammation in the colon but no active inflammation. Faecal calprotectin and blood results have been normal although these have always been done when I've been feeling a bit better. I've had numerous stool tests done to rule out infection and they've all come back negative. I recently got results from a small bowel MRI which shows inflammation in the small bowel particularly in the terminal ileum. I'm seeing a Gastro consultant on Wednesday. I'm just wondering if this is enough for the consultant to diagnose Crohn's or am I going to get fobbed off again saying I can't get any treatment because there's no definitive diagnosis?
Also I'm on 20mg omeprazole for acid reflux and indigestion but occasionally I'm still getting really bad epigastric pain and reflux so should I push for an upper GI endoscopy incase Crohn's is the culprit for that too?
