Hi,
I am over 20 years post-op. Has anyone else experienced issues in their stomach? I was diagnosed with an ulcer two years ago. I was just diagnosed with gastritis. Could these be related to having UC since I was 5? Is there any correlation?

I definitely believe there is a correlation in my opinion. Do you drink soda a lot or take any NSAIDS: asprin, Naproxen etc???
Although Crohn’s Disease can affect any portion of the GI tract, I don’t think there’s any direct connection between UC and gastritis or stomach ulcers. These aren’t rare conditions, so it’s not surprising that they’ll show up in people with UC.

Thanks - you learn something every day (if you’re paying attention). The gastritis treatment would be the same, of course.

Your welcome! And I totally agree! Its weird how IBD affects soo much of our life, but then again, that is what makes us more resilient!
Stomach ulcers are sometimes caused by bacteria, helicobacter pylori and are treated with antibiotics. Has this been recommended to you?
