Crohn's or Colitis?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I am new to the group. I started the diet about a month and a half ago. My

question is whether it is normal for the doctors not to be able to tell you if

it is crohn's or colitis? I have had a ct scan, colonoscopy, endoscopy and more

blood and stool test than I can count. I told my doctor I was not going to take

any more steroids or start remicaide unless they could tell me what the actual

diagnosis was. I told them I was going to start scd instead. I have continued

to take llialda. I have been getting progressively better on scd. I tend to

have a few good days (healthwise) followed by a few bad days. The number of

good days has steadily increased. I am not doubting that scd is working, but I

am wondering if it is important to have a diagnosis or if it is normal for

doctors not to be able to tell you which, crohn's or colitis?
