Class 2 & Ulcerative Colitis

I've just started my PPL training and have been looking ahead towards my medical etc.

It's occurred to me this week that by having ulcerative colitis, this could cause a problem with acquiring my class 2 medical. I hadn't thought about it until now as since diagnosis in February, I have been in remission and controlling this through medication and as a result, it doesn't affect me anymore. I'm also taking medication for PSC although this is just a precaution.

I know the best thing to do is ask an AME but I was wondering if anyone has had any recent experience of acquiring their medical with UC? I've looked for recent experiences but most seem to be at least ten years old.

I'm in the UK if it makes any difference.
