Hi Guys! Just wondering if anyone with GI problems has had proctitis. I was just reading about it and saw that it can be a side thing with Crohns and colitis. I am about to go into hospital in 2 weeks to have a colonoscopy and gastroscopy done for a few problems I have had for awhile. Ebringer (Roland) thinks I might have gastritis and proctitis. Anyone had anything similar. Thanks and take care. Irene  Edited by Irene on 03/13/03 08:27 AM (server time).

Hi, Irene:
I have had both proctitis and diverticulitis. Whether due to AS or the NSAIDs, it is difficult to differentiate, but they certainly are a part of the overall AS experience. I don't put a great deal of faith in the colonoscopy procedure; they did not contrast the obvious inflammation due to ulcerations, but only found some polyps.
Good luck,
John
