Colonoscopy result Pancreatitis and auto immune disease

It's been a long journey in fact 12 months to get a diagnosis. Let me explain I have CP diagnosed 10 months ago by CTS. I was shocked by that as a non drinker and smoker. I know their are other causes. However I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is an auto immune disease. This has attacked my Pancreas and colon. This is what RA does. Other disorders can do the same. Yesterday I got the colonoscopy result at the hospital. I have unspecified colitis. I never knew if I was having pancreas pain,colon pain or both. I was knocked sideways. I've mentioned previously I cannot tolerate Enzymes as I'm allergic to pork and others you can buy are not sufficient enough. So I'm about to go down the steroid tablet route but at least I now know.. On a brighter side for the first time in 18 years my RA is in remission.
