Since having an gluteal abscess and resulting anal fistula , I have been having both urinary incontinence and stool leakage. My Gi work up was negative for crohns. Do people with ibd have urinary incontinence issues? I am wondering what is cause... ? My pelvic floor PT says once the fistula...

Am happy for you 😊

Thanks for sharing!

Thank you, I am grateful you found relief and really hope that things will continue to get better.

Sorry I meant 2 ATA. Details are here http://www.mcdonaghmed.com/hyperbaric-oxygen-therapy/what-does-the-doctor-mean-w.html I read that the studies that have shown benefit are at 2 ATA. The healing time seems to be at least 20 sessions but could be 30 or 60 sessions from the studies I saw...

Thanks for your feedback Paul. I am sorry it did not work and hope you have found healing now. How many sessions did you do? Was it at 2 ATM?

Interesting. Did your fistulas form abscesses? Were these anal fistulas or internal fistulas?

Jeff, Thanks for sharing your story. Were you on the intro scd diet when your fistula healed? Or which portion? Hard for me to do intro due to being mostly vegeterian, though I do eat eggs and fish Appreciate your support

Yes, hope it works out for you Bunty

Does the dr go in and scrape the lining out?

How long did it take to heal? What a/b's were you on?

Thank you Toby. Where you on a Crohns medicine at the time?

Thanks for the reply. What approach was used for healing and how long did it take?

Thanks for all the feedback. Guess I need to find a Drs office that does this to be on the safer side

In March I had an abscess form, and then an MRI indicated there was complex anal fistula. All GI testing was negative for IBD However after putting a seton in, and waiting a few weeks, Dr indicates perhaps I do have Crohns base on amount of drainage that was on my guaze during the office visit...

Please keep in touch on how it works out for you. Though I have no clear evidence of crohn's in testing, Dr has put the suggestion you there to consider remicade. i am reluctant. i am trying to look into alternatives (ie hbot, kshar sutra, etc) would you mind private messaging me the name of...

Hi, I am in the midst of determining whether my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) will cover the Remicade injection. The provider said they provide the injection in a hospital outpatient facility. But BCBS says they only cover this procedure code (J1745 which is specific to remicade i think...
