Is it Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn's Disease

[theend2]

Some time I get Undigested food when I go to the bath room. Last time I had this happen to me it looked like pieces of ham I had for lunch and peas. So I was wondering if I had crohns or not or can this happen when you have ulcerative colitis also?

I'd love to know too as this happens to me pretty often with some veggies I eat. Hope someone has some insight :biggrin:

Guess nobody knows anything on this one ?

Can happen to healthy people or with colitis or crohns. Aunt has colitis and she regularly has D with some whole foods.

Yes, absolutely can happen with UC.
Although UC patients should'nt have as many dietary issues as Crohns its not unusual for food to go from mouth to bum without touching the sides:redface:

I don't think you can differentiate between Crohns & UC just by symptoms. Only a doc can tell during a colonoscopy or from lab studies of a biopsy (even then they can get it wrong). I'm not sure if the following is still current info, but Crohns can have skip areas in the colon and UC does not. Skip areas would be areas in the colon of normal tissue.
