Hello @jwillits8, initially I had a stool test to rule out IBS as that doesn't cause inflammation whereas IBD does, I think this was called a faecal calprotectin test. This showed that I did indeed have IBD. However, this test won't indicate which form of the disease you have so I then had a colonoscopy and not too long after I had a phone call from my Dr. Hope this helps, if you do have it it's important to get it sorted asap as while it can't be cured it can definitely be controlled.
