Will my extra intestinal symptoms of Ulcerative Colitis go after surgery?

by Symptom Advice on June 24, 2011

I have had most of my bowel removed already but still have my rectal stump left in which is inflamed and about to be removed in May which will cure me of UC. I have suffered from mouth ulcers since I started to flare for the first time a year ago and have never not been in a flare up since and have been on steroids since then also.

Whenever I come down to a very low dose of steroids or come off them I very quickly (2days) get mouth ulcers. They go away right away when I take steroids again. this is clearly as a result of my UC. will they stop coming once I have had my whole colon removed and thus no more UC? I suppose im worried that when im cured of UC I will still get these ulcers even though I cant see why if I don't have UC anymore. Anyone with experience or any doctors on here would be very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
