Guest guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I just wanted to post a note about the state of my colon. I just had a flex sigmoidoscopy done on Friday to have my GI doctor look at this persistent rectal irritation I have. All my tissue looked wonderful and the doctor said, " If I didn't know you had been diagnosed with UC because it's in your chart, I wouldn't say you have it. " She found a small hemmorhoid in an area she couldn't see until she turned the scope around, so she believes that's the culprit. So, I'm tapering off the rectal meds I've been on, but continuing to keep my diet pretty early-stage just to make sure it wasn't inflamed tissue that was causing the bleeding I've had off and on all year. Now, I have to question what actually happend a year ago. I got some IV antibiotics and within 2 weeks, started bleeding. About 2 weeks later, I got pinkeye. That told me " system inflammation " . Going back on my sulfasalazine cleared up the pinkeye but not the bleeding. Could I have had a hemmie surface just coincidentally at the same time? In any event, the bottom line is that SCD has returned my colon to its former glory. It DOES work. :-) Kathy UC since 12/05 SCD since 7/07 Med-free and symptom-free from 7/08 to 4/09 Back on sulfasalazine since 4/09 Now have a Beautiful Colon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
