Second opinion: It does not appear that there is a firm diagnosis of Crohns. If you are not satisfied with the care you are receiving, it would be appropriate to seek a second opinion from a GI specialist. Wish you good health!

Not specific...: The pathology report that says chronic active colitis is not specific for Crohn’s disease; depending on where lesions were seen during colonoscopy, you could have ulcerative colitis, for example. It is important to follow up with your GI doctor to get the correct diagnosis as treatment will depend on the diagnosis. So, see your GI doctor again to discuss diagnosis/treatment. Best of luck to you!
