Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) not irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Colonic mucosa is normal in IBS. Yes, your biopsy report is consistent with Crohn's disease, especially if those lesions are skipped lesions which mean in between the lesions are normal colonic mucosa. In the other form of IBD, ulcerative colitis, almost all colonic surfaces are abnormal.
