In 2005 I was hospitalized and diagnosed with Infectious colitis and a caecal ulcer in my terminal ileum caused by Campylocater jejuni. When symptoms were still present 5 months later (eg Abdo pain, C & D, intermittent bleeding, High WBC) I was prescribed pred (after stool tests cleared any infection still present )and told by the GI that they were sure I had IBD. So after 5 months of being on pred and symptoms had eased by the drug I was weaned off and underwent another colonoscopy. This time it was normal. I had a small bowel barium x ray done a few months later and it also showed as being normal. Now 4yrs later and after many GI appointments I have had another colonoscopy yesterday that looks all clear. Biopsies were taken and sent off for testing and I'm currently awaiting the results. As you can imagine I'm completely at a loss and am desperate for an answer. I feel like I'm going crazy. My recent WBC is still high and I have D/C, fevers, joint aches, lethargy, nausea and bleeding. My questions are: Can a colonoscopy show as being normal but a biopsy result show otherwise. Is it possible to have normal results for both the colon and barium x ray and still have IBD? What are the chances that it's IBS? How long does it generally take to be properly diagnosed? My next appointment is in 3 weeks and I'm desperate for some other opinions. I'm unsure if this information helps - my grandfather was diagnosed with Chron's Disease. Thanks....
