I'm scheduled for Nissen Fundoplication surgery @ Mayo next Tuesday...http://mayocl.in/2r7qIbY
Relentless bile reflux / pain: http://mayocl.in/2q8OWFw
I’m hoping they may have experiences to share with you.
I'd sincerely encourage you to also view Mayo Clinic's blog on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), which has videos and discussions by Mayo Clinic experts, on ulcerative colitis: http://ibdblog.mayoclinic.org
@barens2, have you made significant changes to your diet? Have you noticed whether there are certain triggers that bring on your symptoms?

Yes, I cut down on almost everything I should be cutting down on, though I tend to cheat when I'm feeling better. Gluten, dairy, have been mostly cut out, very low sugar intake, though after my gerd symptoms, thinking about losing fruit as well. The tough part is, I don't want to lose any more weight, I've lost too much as is. Doing my best to keep away from trigger foods.
I had recently been on cortisone enimas as well to better control my UC. I am now weening off those enimas, every third day, and have zero lower digestive issues, but it's like the inflammation has traveled to my upper digestive tract.
