Cobblestoning during colonoscopy and a normal MRI?!

Hey Everyone!

I was diagnosed with Crohn's disease a few months ago after colonoscopy found cobblestoning in my terminal ileum. I was put steroids (pred) which worked wonders and reduced my symptoms a lot!
However, biopsies came back 'not suggestive of Crohn's disease', which had me extremely confused. But after researching I discovered that not all biopsies comeback ticking every box for Crohn's disease. (The person who performed my colonoscopy was not my GI which makes me think he has never seen the pictures from the colonoscopy and only the biopsy results)

After a month of my diagnosis and being put on steroids I was sent for an MRI scan of my small bowel to check for any Crohn's disease further up the small intestine. The MRI came back with 'no suggestion of intestinal wall thickening or strictures'. -I also had no contrast with this scan which makes me think they could have missed something.
Obviously, I did not expect this to show anything as the steroids I was taking to treat the Crohn's would be reducing the inflammation.

My question basically is, is it possible for them to have missed something on the MRI as the radiologist did not even mention the cobblestoning in my ileum? -Surely even if the cobblestoning had healed fully or began to heal they would of still picked it up on my MRI! Something is most definitely a miss.
Is a month enough time for cobblestoning to even heal?

I am scared my GI is going retract my diagnosis due to the normal biopsies and normal MRI even though the Endoscopist said it was 'classical Crohn’s disease'. It took such a long time to get a diagnosis so this is very frustrating. I am also tapering off the steroids and my symptoms have slowly started creeping up on me again urgh!

Thanks, in advance for any replies!

Cobblestoning in the terminal ileum is often seen in Crohn's disease, but it can also be a result of other conditions. What exactly did they find in the biopsies to make them report "not suggestive of Crohn's disease?"

What kind of MRI did you have? No contrast at all, not oral nor IV contrast?

Steroids *might* have reduced inflammation to the point that it didn't show up on the MRI, but to really see the small bowel clearly, the MRI needs to be done with both oral and IV contrast.

Find out exactly what the biopsy report says they found in the biopsies. It could still be Crohn's, but it could be other things as well (allergies, other "autoimmune" conditions, etc).

My son definitely has crohn's disease but has never had cobblestoning. When I asked his surgeon about this (had an illeocecal resection eight months after dx) he said not everyone has cobblestoning but it is a combination of blood markers, symptoms and ongoing biopsies that make it definitive. Bad enough to have this disease without having a clear diagnosis! Hope you can get some clear answers!
