A member asked:
I was diagnosed with crohn's 10 years ago by colon biopsy. had a colonoscopy last year and new doc said he saw no traces of crohn's..is that possible?

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.
