Crohns disease may have very distinctive cobblestone ulcers, whilst ulcerative colitis you get more apthous ulcer type of ulcers.
The majority of ulcers have no medical significance but you need someone to investigate first.
NB long term use of "ordinary" corsodyl stains teeth brown.
Assuming you can get the hospital you refer to to be as interested as you want them to be!

I didnt know prescriptions were free in Wales!
How does one become exempt from prescriptions ....... i only know people that buy a yearly (or maybe quarterly i'm not sure) pre paid prescription card.
Or it is once you reach a certain age you become exempt ?0 -
You may be exempt due to age,income or medical conditions see http://www.boots.com/en/Prescription-Charges-and-Exemptions_1049426/ or http://www.healthybytes.co.uk/nhs_exemptions.htm0

brook2jack, please accept my apologies, I have reread the article that I got the information from, and now realise that I had misunderstood it.
Good enough is good enough, and I am more than good enough!:j
