A member asked:
Can crohn's disease go undiagnosed even after a colonoscopy? even though all other symptoms suggest crohn's disease but the doctors won't listen.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Seek alternative: diagnosis. Symptoms of Crohn's disease can occur in the context of other GI or systemic disorders. Highly unlikely to be Crohn's disease if scope negative. Finding the true diagnosis will lead to an effective management plan.
