Hi people, went and seen my gastroenterologist today my calprotectin test came back low and normal again. He said it may be Crohns, he is not sure. He said if i wish have another colonoscopy but (he thinks no point in doing it again). He also said if I have pains for a few days or I wish to see him book with his reception and he will get me in as fast as he can. If not he will see me in 5 years time. He also said Crohn's is a funny disease and it can hide itself from many years and then just come on. He also said he does not want to put me on medication in case it's not Crohn's. I still get a few tummy issues but not nowhere near as many as what I was getting. I had a Yiros last weekend with lots of onion and garlic in it at the Footy. That night I had lots of stomach cramps and the next day lots of diarrhoea. I wish I could stick to the FODMAP diet but it is very boring. Thanks to all the people here over the last 10 months for helping me out with questions. Hope you all get better and have no pain. Cheers

I could write you a lot of things.
Firstly if you have Crohn's , it could affect also your small intestine.
In that case just the colonoscopy wouldn't help that much, one solution to check both small and large intestine in detail is magnetic resonance enterography.
If you undergo a colonoscopy ask them to collect biopsies.
Furthermore get blood tests CRP , ESR detect inflammation.
I'm sorry if I'm scaring you but Crohn's is not at all a funny disease.
You need to be closely monitored and get a treatment plan if you really got this disease.
Please do not neglect it.
Health conditions like Crohn's need to be taken seriously.
Maybe you should see another ibd specialist

Cheers. This is my 2nd specialist. Had so many bloods done. 2 colonoscopys. Cat scan plus cat with some hot dye, lower mri, 3 ultra sounds. Taken byopsis and a few polyps out. Little bit of diiculitis found.
