Hi Friends

I have been going through hell for 5 years with a lot of tests and everyday fear of incurable diseases from Lymphomas to autoimmune diseases etc. Now the gastro is looking at Crohn's disease. I came here to ask you guys if anyone had similar scenario and have Crohn's ?

First I have had multiple episodes of very high Eosinophil number which is a type of white blood cell. by very high I mean some time near 20000 which is 50 times normal. I had a couple of episodes of upper abdomen pain with fever but rarely have lower abdomen pain. I usually don't have diarrhea or constipationthat lasts more than a day or so and never see blood or mucus in my stool. However, I have floating stool that are formed but a little soft and I have bowel movement 2-3 times a day.

I had a colonoscopy last week which was normal as well as 4 CTs in the last 5 years and a few ultrasounds which all turned normal Next week I have an MRI . I am very scared as my doctor said he is looking at Crohn as well as PSC . Please tell me if any of you had eosinophilia as a main issue in blood works and if with little symptoms like diarrhea or blood/mucus how likely it is that I have Crohn?
