Liz-thanks for the response..cuffitis and pouchitis pre takedown are not big topics around here. I did have a scope last month and it revealed inflammation at the anastomoses site..just a small section of it..my surgeon claimed it to be just healing and not to take suppositories because it's not UC..I'm a little confused because isn't Inflammation the same as UC? The biopsy (inflammed area) was of the anus tissue not colon as its been removed.
