My Gasto's nurse told me the other da that I have UC and CD... is it possible to have both at the same time?

Apparently there is a 2-5% chance of having both...but are you sure she didn't say you have crohns-colitis? That means CD is affecting your colon (aka: large intestine), not that you have both UC and CD.

I made sure to clarify with her three times when I talked to her..

I agree you can have both as my husbands endoscoy report states he has both.

Hope that helps.
