What is lymphocytic colitis?
Question:
I have just received my pathology results from my sigmoid scope and according to the report there is evidence of lymphocytic colitis. I’ve searched the net and can find very little on it that I can understand. Does anyone out there have this? How is it treated? This is my 8th month suffering with this and I am worried that if it is left untreated too long, permanant damage may occur. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Lymphocytic colitis and its variant collagenous colitis are diseases in the same class as Crohn’s and UC. One difference is that the disease shows up on biopsy of the intestine, but the interior of the gut looks normal on an endoscopy. Unfortunately, I don’t believe a lot is known about them because they are not common. However, I imagine that they can be managed in much the same way that Crohn’s and UC are. It might worth it to look for a specialist who has an interest in this specific disorder. — Maurice Volaski, Flux Software supp…@fluxsoft.com http://www.fluxsoft.com/ ftp://ftp.fluxsoft.com
