So close to giving up and not furthering the investigation. Maybe someone here has the answer...
IBD positive:
-My blood work has shown chronic inflammation for 5 years now
-CT enterography showed inflammation on large intestine and sigmoid colon
-Had Anemia a few years back, and more nutritional deficiencies that come and go
-Can live only on a low residue diet for the past 5 years.
The symptoms: chronic lower stomach pain, diarrhea, urgency and frequency but on the other hand...
IBS positive:
-Normal colonoscopy (though with no biopsy taken, lord knows why)
-Normal CRP, ESR, Calprotectin so far.
I've been told it's IBS, but I'm wondering about the actual inflammation I had- what it could be? Has anyone had a mix of symptoms and signs similar? Has anyone been misdiagnosed with both clean colonoscopy and calprotectin tests?
Have a question? Ask it here!
