Hello everyone,
I joined this forum on behalf of my mother, 62 yrs, CD detected in year 2007.
She was initially on azoran, which didnt suit her as she had bone problems. Now she takes Budez thrice. Her rectal area is affected badly, and she has lot of pain. She had been administered remicade for 6 times - full course (3 doses).
She had multiple fistulas. Doc couldn't do seton treatment since the fistula was like a web and not connected to rectum. He opted for dilation and deroofing, which gave her temporary relief. She was subsequently administered infliximab.
Now, its been 4 months and she suffers from incontinence, fistula and extreme abdomen pains.
Her doctor has advised ileostomy next week. She is taking it all well, but just wanted to know whether there are any chances of Crohn's flare up after surgery. Most likely the surgery will be permanent.
thanks,
Rahul
