crohns scare

[jennwhite80]

I had a colonoscopy 6 months ago . All was clear , no cancer no ibd. Since I’ve had in and off abdominal pain and inflammation . I just been diagnosed with a parasite of the intestine as well. I have. Signoidoscopy tomorrow, could I still have Crohn’s despite nothing was found 6 months ago? Or could the parasite cause bad inflammation?

Completed my sigmoidoscopy and the gi doctor said my tissue looked very good but I have minor congestion and a few Aphthaes ( ulcers) so she sent in biopsies. Does this mean no ibd was seen so we have to rely on biopsies or could the ulcer be caused by something else?

Some parasites can cause inflammation such as whipworms.

In some respect your sigmoid results seem pretty good. I have just been diagnosed with Crohns and now waiting for a colonoscopy. 😱

All we can do is await the results. 😘
