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.

Q: 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.

Seek alternative: diagnosis. Symptoms of Crohn&#x27;s disease can occur in the context of other GI or systemic disorders. Highly unlikely to be Crohn&#x27;s disease if scope negative. Finding the true diagnosis will lead to an effective management plan.
