They need a stool culture thing and everything came back as "NotDetected" but I don't recall seeing Fecal Calprotectin on my list of results. I'll have to look again. Honestly, I think it's most...
My CRP was also elevated. I saw PCP today and she - rightfully - wants to see my records from GI first. She said even if it was IBS she wasn't sure why GI adding recommend one of the IBS meds out...
Oh no, it's fine - I think the liklihood of me having had crohns and being in magical remission but suffering from IBS & joint pain is unlikely. I wish he had just said "You do not have Crohns." I...
@minnietoty - he did take a ton of biopsies he said but none of them showed chronicity. He said any inflammation marked by the person reviewing the slides was likely from the prep but because he lead...
I should add that he made the suggestion of a Rheum because he noted that my ESR and CRP were elevated and thus indicated inflammation somewhere...just apparently not in my colon -_-...
I got my results of my VCE and posted. Sadly, nothing remarkable and apparently 4 hours is instead a sign of good health....
So I saw my GI on Friday morning. I finally got my August scope results and last weeks VCE results. Both are clear. He said that because he indicated small bowel Crohns on the paperwork, they were...
Also: they've progressed - at least at my hospital - to a sensor belt, not ones stuck on my belly. Also there was nothing but a glass of water (it was smart water actually - probably for the...
I made my appt Aug 26 for Oct 11 - a day I had off from work and school, and they waited until the Friday before to do my insurance authorization! So it didn't come through in time and I had to...
I just had one today! The worst part was no fluids past 10pm. Especially as I have had a sore throat for a few days. Well, swollen - not sore inside but from a swollen lymph node in my neck. Anyway,...
I finally had my pillcam today! I swallowed it at 8:30 with lovely lovely water (no fluids since 10pm last night!) and then happily sat at work starting at 10am. I passed the pillcam at 12:30. It was...
Yeah - slightly discolored. Not from blood draws or IVs - I've got pretty pretty veins thankfully. But scrapes and one minor iron burn. He said it was from the Budesonide very likely, didn't mention...
Not when eating it, but the trips to the bathroom that follow aren't pleasant. And far more of the salad ends up visibly in the toilet then I ever remember in the past (past being a few years ago)....
I had my scope on Aug 9 and the doc said that while all was visibly clear, he wanted to wait for biopsy because inflammation only showed on my last one in the TI and he was able to get pretty far in....
Have you seen a GI during your pregnancy? A GI will be able to advise you on what supplements are safe while pregnant. What has your GI advised for your flare so far?...
