Hello and welcome to the forum.I was dx'd with Proctitis in 2006.It is controlled with Asacol suppositories and Loperamide tablets.I occasionally have a flare and feel pretty sick,with bleeding and mucus and urgency,but I up (excuse the pun) my meds,and luckily it passes pretty quickly.You will find lots of advice and support on here,it's THE best forum for IBD,ers.You can ask ANYTHING without embarrassment,and someone will try to help you.I hope you're having a good day today.Best Wishes.
Welcome to the forum! Yes, there are others here with UC, myself included. Mine was limited to the rectum and rectosigmoid, but was resistant to every medication I tried, so I ended up having a colectomy.

I have a J-pouch formed and ready to go, but have opted to stay with the ileostomy long term or until I have problems with it. I have had such great success with my ileo that I am not ready to commit to essentially starting over with multiple trips to the loo, butt burn, accidents, etc., that come in the beginning stages of reconnection with a functioning J-pouch.
Don't let my decision discourage you, however. Many people have had a good outcome with their J-pouch; I'm just not ready for the switch over to it.
