Reply to "Upset - maybe misdiagnosed and biologics concerns"

Well they didn’t see my Prometheus test which said pattern inconsistent with IBD despite that I have had IBD for 45 years documented on scopes. Like I said it’s a nonsense test and inconclusive. My GI has two pathologists on west and east coast, both of very high expert pedigree, look at the results and they couldn’t draw any conclusions.

The MRE isn’t necessarily going to give you closure on a diagnosis and as I mentioned I don’t think “proper” or correct diagnosis is or should be driving your treatment. The MRE will provide information on the location and extent of the inflammation upstream. These tests should be viewed as guides for treatment and markers for your response to treatment. Any Doctor who wants to see a Prometheus result before determining a course of treatment for his or her patient is not someone I would be a patient of for very long.

I have taken antibiotics for 22 years continuously and always take with food and was never nauseated by any.

Regardless of everything else I think you should go to a different GI specialist going forward. Find someone experienced with treating Pouch inflammation and related issues.

Good luck. If you improve with antibiotics you can stay on them but will need to rotate as previously discussed.
