Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I frequent the Fibro and RA forums. I have a questions regarding my mother. She believes she may have Crohn's Disease or something similar. She does have Fibromyalgia and IBS is a known symptom/ailment affiliated with Fibro. She has symptoms fitting of IBS, Crohn's, Ulcerative Colitis and things similar. Her last colonoscopy was two months ago. It seems to me that if she had CD or UC, it would have been caught on her colonoscopy. My question is, has anyone else experienced a situation where immflamation from UC or CD wasnt caught on their colonoscopy or where the disease had advanced so fast that it would be missed two months ago?
I want to tell her that it is probably just IBS, because I really do believe that the colonoscopy would have revealed something if it were as serious as CD or UC, but I very well could be wrong and was hoping to have some insight on this for my own peace of mind.
Thank you to everyone willing to take the time to help me understand more.
