That's what perplexed my GI doctors, because they had scoped me and the inflammation in my J Pouch was documented and undeniable.
At some point my second GI specialist - the wonderful Dr. Oikonnomou, the Shen protege who ultimately left Yale for the greener pastures of New York City- threw his hands up in the air and said to me, "it's inflammation no matter what we call it, and we still have to treat it." He was a big proponent in reducing sugars in my diet, something that really does help as a long term strategy in managing pouch inflammation.

Lol that is funny. Too bad we do not know the exact name of it but at least your Remicade is working wonders. And oh my goodness! I could not imagine reducing sugar, that would be extremely hard for me lol XD. But its known a lot of sugar causes problems, I hate how life is not fair a lot of times.
