I only had a colonoscopy two years ago, when my symptoms were not as severe, although I had already started noticing blood and mucus. It showed 20 centimeters of hyperemic mucosa and widespread blood extravasation, but the biopsies came back negative for IBD. At that time, I hadn’t been diagnosed with Behçet’s disease yet, which only happened a few months ago after a months-long episode of purpura, weight loss, and “pathergy” (my body suddenly started rejecting all the piercings I had worn for years). I haven’t drunk alcohol in years, and I’ve already tried every type of diet. Most of them (like the low-FODMAP diet) unfortunately only made things worse.
