SSD and Crohn's I just got SSD on the first try. I am 47 and had Crohn's for 15 years. I had a fistula surgery that did not heal correct. That may have made a difference for SSD. I first went on short term, then long term disability from work. While I was on long term, my disability insurance...

I have not drank milk for years. Gives me lots of gas and dria. Its almond milk for me.

I also have crohns and IBS. IBS pain is more all over the belly and Crohn's pain in the same area - left side and rectum as I have Crohn's colitis. I am going on Humera to help with this pain and also hip pain.

Unfortunate Sleeper, I had Surgisis fistula plug in July of 2009. I think that a flap in addition to a plug will increase your chance of fistula closing. It took about 1 week after plug to start passing gas and stool from external opening. Then inside started to swell and hurt, hence another...
