Hi,
I recently went in for a sigmoidoscopy to check out some bowel problems I was having (infrequent bleeding episodes, trapped gas, diarrhea, etc) and it was discovered that I had a few ulcers in the colon that were listed on the sheet as 'consistent with Crohn's colitis'. They took some biopsies so they could come up with a diagnosis, but is it possible at all that it isn't Crohn's, and that it could simply be something else that was mistaken for it? I just thought it seemed unlikely because I hear Crohn's causes people a lot of discomfort and my symptoms aren't even really that severe. My stool looks quite healthy and I only get a bit of trapped gas occasionally now, and the bleeding seems to have gone away completely. It means a lot to my state of mind that there could be other possibilities, as I get pretty bad anxiety when it comes to medical stuff. Thank you to anyone who can provide some insight into this uncertain diagnosis.
