Question: hi Sir.
i am a 26 year old male. over the last one year period i have had frequent abdominal irritation with irregular bowel movements(not very often). All the tests (including blood, stool, usg) were normal. Finally doc advised for colonoscopy and it revealed two tiny ulcers at the terminal ileum. I did a lot of research over the internet and related my symptoms to that of Chron's disease and was tensed. Received the biopsy report yesterday. Had a meeting with the doctor and he told me the findings in the report is absolutely normal and nothing to worry about and it is not Chron's at all. He also told me for some people, ulcers can be of no apparent reason and mine is such a case. Here is the findings in the biopsy report
1. sections show pieces of ileal mucosa with intact villi and crypts. Lamina propria shows infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells and several eosinophils
2. sections show pieces of colonic mucosa with intact surface epithelium and crypts. Goblet cells are adequate. Lamina propria shows infiltration by lymphocytes, plasma cells and several eosinophils
3. sections show pieces of rectal mucosa with intact surface epithelium and crypts. Goblet cells are adequate. Lamina propria shows normal cellularity
IMPRESSION:-
1,2-biopsies from ileum and caecum showing eosinophilic infiltration
3-biopsy from rectum showing no significant pathology
Doctor advised for
tab. Amitriptyline 10 mg 0-0-1
livoluk fibre 2 tea spoon
When i asked him for medicines to heal the ulcers he said these two will do.
Can i be rest assured that the findings are normal and there is nothing serious? Do i need to take any other medicines? I am worried


regards
XXXX

hi Doc,

thanks for the reply. So how are these non specific ulcers healed? do they heal automatically over time? in my case are those two prescribed medicines (tab. Amitriptyline 10 mg 0-0-1, livoluk fibre 2 tea spoon) enough to heal the ulcers at the terminal ileum?? My doctor told me those two will do. But i am confused....
