Hi, I am new here and posting on behalf of my husband who has had symptoms of what seem like IBD for nearly ten years and currently undiagnosed.
My main question....if a person is scoped between flareups, will the biopsy most likely be normal, or will there still be evidence of past inflammation?
My husband had both endoscopy and colonoscopy 2 years ago, and by the time he could get in to see a GI to have it done, he was no longer symptomatic and they said everything looked normal. He has recently been going through another flareup...the worst he's ever experienced and he can't get in to the GI for another month. Our concern is that he will be in remission again by that time and that they will not find anything. Is that usually the case?
Thank you.
