Blood work says I have Crohns but not biopsy

I had test done in August, finally went back to dr. And he told me my biopsy looks good but blood shows crohn's. And which way SHOULD we go ? I don't know has anyone been told this? I have all the symptoms. I find my blood work this week and like I said bioposy in aug? COULD something change in 4months? They are going to put me on strong antibiotics that should cure you from IBS/D after 4weeks, if not they will start me on more crohns meds after. Has anyone gone down this road ?

  1. Hi - unfortunately normal test results or biopsies or similar when you're having symptoms isn't uncommon in the IBD world. One of our advocates wrote an article about this actually: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/when-test-results-are-normal/

    Have you been back to see your doctor since you shared this? How are things going?
