So when I had Sygmoid exam for my bleeding, (totally different group of GI Drs. ) they may have gone into the pouch and it could have been pouchitis? They just didn't call it a pouchoscopy? And that they were checking for pouchitis??

Since our sigmoid colon is removed along with the rest of our colon, we can’t really have a sigmoidoscopy, even though the same scope is used. As soon as the scope passes through the anal canal it’s in the J-pouch and they are doing a pouchoscopy. I can’t say for sure what your doctors were looking for, but it should have included an assessment of any pouch inflammation. Bleeding is more often a sign of cuffitis than pouchitis, though.
