I was diagnosed with UC nearly 12 years ago after serious flares and eventually getting a colonoscopy in my mid 20s. I switched health insurance which forced me to see a new gi doc who wanted to get a ct scan after mentioning that I have pain after eating and acid reflux. My ct scan shows matted small bowel loops and I assume that’s where the pain is coming from along with the past issues of nausea, vomiting, severe pain with larger meals, etc. Has anyone with UC experienced matted bowel loops because that seems more related to being diagnosed with Crohn’s. I’ve always wondered if it’s really Crohn’s given my other symptoms but previous doctors didn’t really care because it was basically the same treatment with Humira at the time. I feel like I caused irreparable damage cause I wasn’t treating that area since I was only using mesalamine suppositories for the other problem areas. My dad’s sister had Crohn’s which always made me think it was weird for me to have UC, not Crohn’s, but that’s another thing. Anyone’s diagnosis change after a CT scan?

I applied for two kids on two consecutive days April 29/30th. Both were received on May 5th. They were approved on May 13th and received today on May 18th. I did not use any sort of expedited processing so that was impressive for the New Orleans office. Just in case anyone else is wondering about what documents to show in case your kids’ birth certificate doesn’t match your current legal name, I used my current passport for my identification when applying and did not mail in any marriage certificates, while only one kid shares my current last name. My other kid is from previous marriage and my maiden name was listed on his birth certificate. I was worried that it would get held up with processing but it did not. I’m guessing using my passport that would’ve given them the access to show my former names possibly helped to avoid sending in marriage and divorce papers. Hope this helps!
