Diagnosis

Can you have Crohns if your Atypical p-ANCA Saccharomyces cerevisiae IgG Ab test is slightly elevated (but is still high according to the lab range)? I had a colonoscopy in 2020 because of terrible stomach pain with alternating diarrhea and constipation and joint pain but gastro said Crohns patients values are much higher. The colonoscopy was negative except for a few polyps and hemorrhoids. Also I had an MRI prior to colonoscopy that said I had wall thickening throughout my colon.

FF to today and I’m still dealing with stomach pain and my arthritis has gotten worse. The only medication that has helped is Humira (prescribed through my rheumatologist for sero negative RA) but it has stopped working and my rheumatologist is at a stand still. I’m not sure if I really have sero negative RA or if it’s Crohns. I feel lost….
