How could ulcerative colitis just disappear?
by Trish913, Oct 06, 2008 11:49AM
My husband is 41. Six years ago he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and it extended from inside his rectum all the way up and around the first bend in his colon. He never took medication for it, because he's hardheaded - but he smokes, and the nicotine had kept him from ever having any flare-ups. Today he had a follow-up colonoscopy, and the doctor seemed very shocked to find that my husband has absolutely NO signs of ever having the ulcerative colitis. Now we are wondering, was it actually something else mimicking the UC....or more specifically, could it have been a problem caused by something he was ingesting? At the time of his diagnosis, he was married to someone who did other things to try to hurt him. We just wonder if she could've been slipping him something that caused a problem that just looked like UC.....otherwise, how is it suddenly just gone?? Thanks in advance for your help!
