Quick background - diagnosed with UC in Feb, have had CDiff 4 different times since I returned from Mexico June of 2010. Had been treating my UC since Feb and had a sigmoidoscopy in July. It came back normal and the biopsy results were "no significant abnormality"! Praise God! In the meantime, I did the 6 wk taper on Vancomycin for Cdiff (again). Last week my stomach started acting up again which seemed to be a "flare" but felt different than before. My doc rushed a flex sig yesterday and said everything looked normal to his eye - no redness, inflammation, or ulcers...but at the top of my colon, I'm guessing my descending colon, he saw a bit of swelling. He took biopsy's which won't be back until next week. He assumes it's not my UC, but what else could it be? CDiff again?? Has anyone had any similar experiences where their colon looked clear but a bit of swelling just at the top?? Thanks!
