Reply to "Crohn's Disease and J-Pouch"

Becky GMember

My son had been given different diagnoses over the years - when it came time for the colon to go and the most recent GI said Crohn's, my son insisted that they leave some of the rectum "just in case". Two years later he went to Cleveland Clinic and they reviewed all history, path reports, slides, etc and changed his diagnosis to "indeterminate" and J-pouch surgery followed.

The son of a friend had also been given different diagnoses by different doctors in Texas. He went up to Mayo Clinic for a week and they concluded it was UC and recommended a surgeon in his home town.

So if there is any doubt, you may want to take her to a hospital that specializes in this for a tie-breaker.

Best of Luck.
