In defense of my comment about diet, I don't think you can have inflammation anywhere and expect to keep eating the same as usual. There is a long list of foods (including refined sugar) that doctors recommend you avoid for UC. Cuffitis is UC in what's left of your colon. Whenever I begin to have problems, I eat only white rice, well cooked with extra water (mushy). That helps my system calm down and heal. This being said, I agree that you need to see a specialist at CC or Mayo if possible.
