Good Morning -

Does anyone here have Crohn's and, if so, how were you diagnosed? I was back at the GI today for some ongoing stomach issues that I've been "lucky" enough to have for the last several years. They've never been able to come up with a diagnosis other than IBS. That would be fine in itself, but there are other symptoms that suggest there is something more. I've had dozens of blood tests done and had a colonoscopy and endoscopy done about 5 years ago. I also recently had a CT scan (9 months ago). The GI wants me to have another colonoscopy and endoscopy because she said it certainly sounds like crohn's and maybe this time they will catch it. Just wondering if anyone had a hard time being diagnosed and if it took several different imaging tests to show something. Thanks for the help. Be well.
