Yes, I kind of feel that either you have it or your don't depending on the results of the image. Maybe a better question would be, have you recently had a severe back trauma or abdominal surgery? My GI has said that there is a correlation between these events and MP. For me, I had a bad fall on my back two weeks prior to experiencing my first symptoms of MP.

Morning all! Doctors agreed when I was diagnosed that I probably have had this since I was young. I had hypothermia as a young person and developed terrible gut issues after that. In and out of hospital at least 3 times a year. But auto immune diseases run in my family like crazy as well. I’m old now -turn 70 this year!-and I’ve learned to live a pretty full life with it, juggling factors that effect quality. But you are sure correct kimh- being diagnosed and knowing some of what this disease is all about - very comforting. Doctors kept telling me for years that if I would only leave a less stressful life I would be fine, if I stopped doing such and such then -. Took many years to end up finding out that it wasn’t in my head! 😊
