Hello everyone:
I'm brand new to these boards. A couple of months ago, I had noticed I had really been losing some weight without trying, 17 lbs.since December. Doctor did a blood test, RBC
and blood sugar was low. Doctor recommended a colonoscopy which I had tuesday. The GI doctor found and removed 1 polyp, an internal hemorrhoid and inflammation at the ileocecal valve of which he took a biopsy of. Today the doctors office called and said biopsies were normal but I have colitis
, (I assume its the ileocecal valve like the doctor said after the colonoscopy.) Nothing about what to do in the mean time. I asked for some specifics, the nurse asked if the doctor gave any specific instructions after the scope and I said no so she just said then no specific instructions until I see the doctor. Is this the normal procedure? With this diagnosis what should I be expecting next? I did ask if I could please speak to the doctor, but he was already out of the office so it would probably be monday at the soonest. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
