Crohn's vs. Ulcerative Colitis
Sophie had her follow-up appointment with her GI on Thursday. After reviewing the biopsy results unfortunately we are not really any closer to knowing whether she has Crohn's or Ulcerative Colitis (UC). Right now he said it looks more like UC but there are a few factors that are pointing towards Crohn's too. The trouble with these 2 diseases is that Crohn's often presents as UC and then the Crohn's diagnosis is made at a later date.
The good news is that Sophie is responding to the treatment that we have chosen and is feeling SO much better.
The results from the blood draw are not all back yet --- we are still waiting for the Celiac results. Thank you to those that sent messages advising us to check for Celiac.
