Terrific News (Crohns Going Away?)

[Anthonyl1991]

When I was diagnosed with Crohns I was told I had it in my small/large intestine and colon, but the results of my colonoscopy showed it was now only in my small intestine, but my colon and large intestine were normal and disease free. I'm still trying to figure out how this happened.... I havn't properly taken my medicine since I was officially diagnosed almost 10 years ago! The only medicine I have been on was asacol, but they switched me over to pentasa.

Cool. Me and the person I'm closest with react with medication and are then fine.. We tend to get medication for flares, which brings it down, then we can literally be off meds for years and be fine. (the guy is actually a pilot)

Have to warn you that a colonoscopy doesn't show much though, they can only show the mucosa, there's patients where the colonoscopy says they're fine but in reality they have pain, fevers, and inflammation.
