i have an EXTENSIVE medical history, including world travel, and exposure to many things but basically ive been sick since 2006 after joining the army but always recovered. in 2011 after returning from haiti i could not recover and was sick for months. i was told i had ebv and since then i have been sick, contracting any colds or flus or infections. my occult test was positive, had a colonoscopy and they found ulcers. 2nd one they found colitis. 3rd one they found nothing. i have upper g.i. problems also, including esophageal spasms. they thought i had e.o.e. but endoscopy ruled it out.

Brief Answer:
This is suggestive of colitis(inflammation of the colon)

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have reviewed these images. They are suggestive of an inflamed colon. This could be caused by disease such as ulcerative colitis or an infection. With over 900pages, I cannot receive and review them online. You will have to seek a second opinion from another doctor in the area who can examine you as well as reviewing all these documents.
