IBS or IBD

Question

IBS or IBD

Asked for Male, 25 Years

Sir/madam, I am suffering from diarrhea from 9 months. Recently hospital people performed all blood tests including stool and colonoscopy everything was normal but doctor said to do CT enterography (IBD protocol) but I went for CT enterography so doctor was not sure he said you should have done CT enterography (IBD protocol) . This CT enterography shows some lymph nodes were swollen doctor said I have performed colonoscopy there so no issues!!! He said if the problem reoccur we can go for another CT enterography (IBD protocol) after 2months . Can I go MRI abdomen instead of CT scan because I have read in Internet that CT scans have more radiation!! So please suggest me.
