I work as a GI nurse - I am going to speak very generally, but doing a colonoscopy on a (poorly controlled/not treated) UI patient reveals a colon that is "checkerboard" looking - red/inflamed mixed with whitish pus from WBCs. Furrows and (of course) ulcers. Sometimes the inflammation is continuous throughout the colon. Sometimes it only exists in the left colon (rectum, sigmoid, descending), sometimes only in the right (transverse, cecum). Sometimes it does invade into the terminal ileum. Everyone talks about how C. Diff has a particular odor. IBD does as well. Usually that foul smell starts just after we start advancing the scope. I can usually tell from the smell alone that we are dealing with IBD.
@@LevelUpRN you're very welcome! I'm more than happy to share more about this topic or other GI issues based on what I see/experience in practice. I work in a pediatric procedure OR and we do all kinds of GI related stuff - colonoscopies, EGDs, colonic/anorectal/esophageal manometry, endoflip, bravo capsule placement, ect We also preform bronchoscopies and lumbar punctures for intrathecal chemo and diagnostic purposes if you would like some clinical input. :)
@@LevelUpRNOctober 20th marks one full year since I underwent a laparascopic right hemicolectomy due to colon polyps that were discovered during the colonoscopy that led to my initial H pylori diagnosis that was performed in January of 21 so it seems like something positive came out of my suffering from the ulcer after all because had that infection never occurred I might never have gotten the colonoscopy to begin with which saved my life.
While I'm fortunate enough to not have UCI i have had an ulcer due to an H pylori infection about 3 years ago and it definitely wasn't a pleasant experience. Now whenever i suffer from a sudden bout of nausea and vomiting I've always got a fear of my ulcer returning and causing my symptoms. Gastric ulcers of any kind is definitely something you wouldn't want to have to experience that's for sure.
I'm curious. If you have a condition such as psoriasis does that put you more at risk of developing UC or chrons disease? I have psoriasis myself so I'm now concerned about even the remote possibility of this happening to me at some point in my life, especially given what I've been through already with my previously mentioned H pylori infection from a few years ago.

Great info. What medication do you think works best on Ulcerative Colitis in your experience with patients?
The stool test is called a fecal calprotectin test and it is pretty specific for IBD.
