I WAS DIAGNOSED THIS PAST SUMMER WITH ULCERATIVE COLITIS (UC). I HAD A SIGMOIDOSTOMY DONE AND DETERMINED I HAD UC WHILE I WAS HOSPITALIZED & DISCHARGED TO TAKE COLAZAL FOR TWO WEEKS WHICH DID NOT WORK. I WAS RUSHED BACK TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM DUE TO SEVERE ABDOMINAL PAIN. THE GI PHYSICIANS RAN A CT SCAN AND DECIDED TO TREAT UC WITH STEROIDS WHICH DID NOT WORK. THE GI TEAM DID ANOTHER CT SCAN AND FOUND A ABSESS ON MY COLON. MY COLON WAS PERFORATED AND I HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO REMOVE MY COLON.
