Anyone have this test done?
I went ahead and did this since my GI thought it would be helpful. I'm not entirely sure I understand the results. The GI told me there was a 67% chance of me developing a stricture or fistula from the Crohn's in the next 5 years, but that everyone has a 50% chance of that to begin with. I don't really understand why that result is helpful. I have a colonoscopy at the end of the month, and I'm hoping things look as good as I've been feeling.
I'm sort of jumping the gun with my worrying since I won't really know until after the scope. He said if there was any sign of activity we would need to step up my meds since I was at a high risk for complications from the Crohn's. Anyway--I'm trying to put that worry aside and just understand the test. I appreciate anyone's info on the prometheus test.
Thanks!!
