emergency scopes today, upper endo and pouchoscopy/up the ileum

i was over due also, but had routine scopings today, i called my gastro wed. complaining of frequency, urgency, and intermitant abdominal pain. so friday being today, i was scoped/squeezed into drs schedule.


as an fap'er, i also have microscopic colitis as a diagnosis after todays procedures. gastro, proscribed xiafaxin and apriso.


i know colitis issues is less common in the small bowel with a jpouch in place but less heard of to have colitis issues and be a victim of polyposis syndrome.


i posted under doughboyinphl78 about clear watery discharge and maybe now as pouchitis was just ruled out for me that colotis issues and frequenting the toilet can cause my wet butt streak issues.??


ive never had colitis diagnosed when i had a colon before colecttomy in 2001, but i guess anything is possible, especially when your guts are altered to some degree or other.


i was nervous about potential findings other than just having gone in and under for my usual, the fap surviellence, and when doc came back when i wa sin recovery this afternoon i asked "doc you dont have bad nws to tell us"..he said "no nothing bad"...when i was still groggy and under i was told upon awakening that i have microscopic colitis in the or still...


i think he prescribed it for a week or two, after that i hope it will be better because i dont want to gain weight, im already stocky at 245 lbs on a 5 feet 7 inch frame...and there is a list of some unpleasent side effects of apriso/mesalamine and xiafaxin.


i guess im just posting to share my news, maybe get some support, ive had my pouch since 2001 a one step procedure and this is the first time i cam eout of a scope with colitis of small bowel being a diagnosis for myself.
