@gshlager, I modified the title of your discussion to reflect the connection you'd like to make. I hope you also saw the reply from @lucismith
Gshlager, while the diagnosis of Crohn's is new for you, have you had digestive issues for a long time. What led to your having a colonoscopy?

I have had many Gastro issues , ulcers , diverticulitis twice which results in colon resection, I have IBS , and now Crohn’s .
My former gastro did only the sigmoid which was not precise diagnosis. Once I was recommended by another doctor to go to actual gastro that is absolutely awesome doctor , he said full colonoscopy is required to do a precise diagnosis and that was done and biopsy both confirmed Crohn’s disease which has been a nightmare for quite several years that went without diagnosis.
Also I had 5 times C Diff bacteria which is very contagious and dangerous in my case was all severe case .
I have reflux, I also have gastroparesis which is not easy sometimes.
I don’t have appetite and eat very small portions with caution because I don’t ever know what is going to cause problems with all my issues .
So you can see I have a long list and lots of experience in digestive and abdomen problems .
