Aphthous Ulcer in terminal ileum
Options

Just had a Colonoscopy and they found a few small Aphthous ulcers within my terminal Ileum. They have sent off for a biopsy. Is this possibly the start of Crohns disease or could it be something else. Has anyone else had the same diagnosis/problem. Any advise please or I guess I will have to wait for the result of the biopsies. I am somewhat concerned!!

I can understand that. This isn't really the place to be asking things like this though.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
I suggest you wait until the result of the biopsies are back. These usually take 2 to 3 weeks . Your hospital consultant should have arranged an appointment for you to discuss the results, as it would appear that the Aphthous Ulcers were discovered in your colonoscopy . At this stage You may be jumping to the wrong conclusions about Crohns disease. As difficult as it is you need to be patient. Good luck0

Does it mean if an Aphthous ulcer is discoverd in your Ileum that you will have Crohns disease. Surely there are other reasons for these ulcers.0

You're asking for medical advice which is against forum rules.
I hope that your results come back soon and that they are good, and put your mind at rest.
