Reply to "Ulcers in terminal ileum"

Hi Jacqueline

I have recently had 3 tiny ulcers found the above the pouch in the ileum, i’m not sure if that’s the terminal ileum or not.

Strangely though there is no inflammation around them or signs of Crohn’s disease.

They have been causing me to be anemic for years as they bleed, so i’m having several sessions of a laser type coagulation that burns them closed, which should hopefully heal them indefinitely.

My surgeon says that the ulcers can just happen like in people with Colon’s, he refused to diagnose me with anything like Crohn’s, as i also have no Crohn’s like symptoms.

I just thought i’d let you know

Thanks
