I think in your situation that is very wise as the tests alone was very invasive.
He had to have a biopsy done of his gut to determine that it was IBD then we had to wait until it was fully healed before starting the treatment because prednisalone slows down healing, somehow in between the healing and the treatment he ruptured the internal stitches and caused a hernia so he has to have another operation.
Unfortunately he started having symptoms of IBD at only 1 years old, the vet thinks he was born with it.
At one point he lost so much weight I thought I was going to wake up and find he had died.
The treatment worked well for several years, we had to go to the vets every month to be checked and have a B12 injection,he spent a lot of time staying at the vets when he had bad flare ups.
One day he took a turn for the worse, after having a scan they found his gut had ruptured and it had turned to cancer, he had an operation to remove that part of intestine, he was in hospital for several weeks, they then sent him home, I think they knew he wasn't going to make it.
By the next morning he was all hunched up looking terrible and he had wet in his bed.
I asked the vet to come to the house and put him to sleep, I will always feel sad and guilty for this although it was the right thing to do.
I had him individually cremated and keep him in my cabinet, he was my first bengal and I still miss him so much.
It brings tears to my eyes every time I think of him even though I love my 2 babies I have now he was very special to me.
