A member asked:
Can you still have crohn's if your colonoscopy test is negative?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Crohn's disease can affect any part of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus. In many patients, the colon is not involved, and so a colonoscopy will not reveal any abnormal findings. A diagnosis of crohn's disease is made using a combination of symptoms, physical exam findings, blood tests, imaging tests, and other clinical tests.
