Hello,
My symptoms started about a month ago with what I presumed was an infection (fever, diarrhea for a day). Since then I've had pretty much constant abdominal pains that are mild, occasional cramps and are located mostly left lower, lower and right lower. My stools are frequent, mushy but have never been bloody and the diarrhea has very much improved. My appetite is poor and I have trouble sleeping due to churning / gurgling and cramps. Occasionally I've woken up in the middle of the night to have a BM. Had a colonoscopy that showed a couple areas in my colon and terminal ileum of "focal, mildly active inflammation and cyptitis". Pathologist said "not characteristic of Crohn's but cannot rule it out". GI doc is not convinced it's Crohn's, thinks it's more likely a post infectious inflammation that will eventually calm down. Plan is to wait a few months and see what happens. Anyone else have a similar experience? Did your symptoms get better with time or did you end up on treatment / diagnosed with Crohn's?
Thanks for any insight!
Max
