Hey just wanted to let you know I had an appt with my GI today, and I asked him how come sometimes we are so sick but our blood or other tests come back normal. His response was because sometimes the inflammation is in a smaller localized area and just doesn't show up in the tests. Hope that helps a little.

Hi Gail,

Wow, that's interesting, Thanks for the additional info. Makes you wonder about trusting the tests.
