DH and I had a post-colonoscopy appointment with my GI doctor. For whatever
reason, I found him much more approachable this visit, and we were able to
have a pretty decent Q & A session.

Here's the scoop.

I do have Crohn's. The biopsy showed granuloma, which is a definite
indicator. I'm lucky with this, because the biopsy doesn't always show
the granuloma, which then makes the condition harder to diagnose. There
was also another indicator that is more commonly found but also slightly
ambiguous -- structural changes in the lining of the cecum. Between the
two, the diagnosis is definite.

My case of Crohn's is about as minor as it gets. There is only one spot
that he found, which is in the cecum, and the damage level is very low.

I'm so glad to hear this! This hasn't exactly seemed like the
greatest month so far, but maybe things are looking up. Dear God:
Some successful surgeries, found kitties, and some more good diagnoses
like this would really cheer me up.

I hope that they can help you calm down your temperamental tummy.
