ulcerative colitis - or intestinal fortitude

[Guest guest]

I have been diagnosed with this about eight times, do not have it, as was

confirmed

again, on colonoscopy; I just needed to up my Aciphex (similar to Prevacid)

and

adjust my enzymes more carefully. I do not have it, never did, probably

never will,

but doctors who do not know cf can make that assumption, which is why colonos

copay and MRI may be so important, so as not to make a mistake. After all,

even

if one did have a realtive with ulcerative colitis (I do not have one), that

relative most

likely did not have cystic fibrosis. I had, as I have mentioned, endoscopy,

which con

firmed Barrett's esophagitis, and some of those signs and symptoms can mimic

both colitis and crohn's disease.

Yours, with guts,
