Pseudomen-type colitis?

[forum contributor]

I had another colonoscopy today, and the dr. found the following so far:

1. Ulcerative colitis on the left side (already knew that)
2. Pseudomen-type colitis on the right side
3. Rectal ulcers

Here's my question - does anyone have/know what pseudomen-type colitis is? I've been trying to look it up, but I can't find anything about it!!

Any info is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Kello
I'm pretty sure he explained it to me 2 or 3 times, but I was so completely out of it LOL
I emailed him when I got home because I thought he said I had a polyp, and he said I totally dreamt that one :ybatty:
