It's easy to tell someone not to worry, but applying that particular advice is extremely difficult. All of us here that have or whose loved one has Crohn's has gone through the exact same fears and anxiety that you're experiencing right now.

The best thing you can possibly do, is have all of the necessary diagnostics. The scopes with biopsies will give you some answers for sure. You might also consider and MRE or even a CT, although CT comes with considerable radiation exposure.

If it does turn out to be Crohn's, take comfort in the fact that the treatment options have advanced considerably. Some of those choices will cause as much fear and anxiety as wondering if you have Crohn's.

Try not to worry. Good luck with the scopes. Please keep us posted.

Had my scope my sigmoid colon had Colitis in a few spots . My stomach had an erosion and throat had some damage from reflux . Dr just said nothing stood out as for sure crohns or uc or c diff but just wait on bisopies to come back . Not sure if any of this explains anything but I was sure that I was swollen some where as my stood was narrow and my left side hurt like I had something in there . Dr said my pain was pretty much were I was swollen , so now I wait I guess . Not sure how long it will take bisopy to come back. Is there anything else I should do I have had ct all looked good

Hopefully the biopsies will be able to tell you one way or another. For what it's worth, I was diagnosed via biopsies. The GI that did that scope actually told me that he was pretty sure I didn't have Crohn's, going by what he saw. But the biopsies told a different story and said it was Crohn's. Just keep in mind that whatever it is, you've been dealing with it for some time already.
