Oh dear. Microscopic colitis is called microscopic for a reason, i.e.

you can't see it just by looking around, that is why it is so

important to take biopisies. Eosinophilic colitis is the same way-and

patchy, as well.Easy to miss with the naked eye. I'm kinda worried

about this doc if s/he did not take biopsies. Just eyeballing it is

often not enough....Here is a link, you can see the importance of

biopsy in ruling out this disorder
