Yes: Patients with crohn's disease can undergo remission and exacerbation. It would be helpful for the "new doc" i.e. Pathologist to review the prior biopsies, too, if possible.

Yes: Crohns is sometimes a difficult diagnosis to make. The clinical context is just as important as colonoscopy findings.

Had an endoscopy & colonoscopy done doc took biopsies to rule out crohns. If they were only checking for Crohn's would they have looked at other things?
