Jejunoileitis: This form of the disease affects the jejunum, which is the upper half of the small intestine. It causes areas of inflammation. Symptoms include cramps after meals, the formation of fistulas, diarrhea, and abdominal pain that can become intense.
There's a good chance that it's in fact Crohn's and not UC, I have crohn's, when I first became sick it was affecting my jejunum as well as my colon, rectum and anus (with perianal crohn's skin tags) when they DX with UC did they happen to mention the type of inflammation you had (patchy is indicative of Crohn's disease, UC isn't patchy, rather the entire area will be inflamed with no patches)?
