Everyone is different. I had luck with stopping a flare with just a 7 day prednisone course, and sometimes it took switching to another biologic to go in to remission. You must be "on something" all the time to keep inflammation down.

Turmeric did nothing for me and actually made my dria. a bit worse. After researching more about - it helps with inflammation if turmeric is a permanent and a life time part of your diet - like people in India use turmeric as soon as they stop breastfeeding.

Update on my stem sell clinical trial - it was a double blind study, donor stem sell injected along the fistula track and suture closure of internal fistula opening. Unfortunately, it did not work for me - lots of swelling and pain followed with increased draining. I do not know if I receive a...

Love my dog - can't imagine my life with out!

I am happy to report that my new no knot seton has been put in and I am very happy with it. The place that distributes this seton is in Boston area. I was able to get a free sample and my surgeon replaced the old rubber band seton. The company name is AMI and contact # is 781 990 1806.

I just received a new no knot seton - it;s a brilliant idea -instead of a knot its a smooth tube with female to male connection. After a year finally convinced my surgeon to put it in. It;s so uncomfortable with the knot moving up and down there and tearing my fistula skin.

I am having a no knot seton put in in a few weeks - it has no knot - just smooth tube with male to female connection. Leaving with a seton knot is so uncomfortable!

I have had pockets like lumps near seton on the outside. Its a collection of the draining from fistula. Sometimes if the fistula output is a bit thick -it's possible to happen,. Sit's baths as many as you can will do can help, if they do not help, you may need to see a colo rectal surgeon to...

Cholestagel off label use is not a good idea - pancreatitis reported after use. Concentrate on reducing colon inflammation - inflamed colon - not absorbing liquids - Diarrhea.

Do you have a definite Crohns diagnosis? This procedure involves total fistulectomy, with removal of the primary and secondary tracts and complete excision of the internal opening - poor success in patients with Crohn disease or acute infection.

The lump may mean you are developing an abscess. CT scan maybe needed and exam by a colorectal surgeon. I had a LIFT procedure - did not work, fistula re opened. Advance flap has a very low success rate.There are a lot of research going on. Stem cell, and the regenerative medicine will begin...

I did a lot of unconventional stuff to see if something might help. Things like homeopathic remedies (which I now realize is just expensive water), dream analysis, a Aervedic diet, acupuncture, Probiotics, prebiotics, gum mastic, licorice, special fiber, glucosamine, L-Glutamine, flax oil, S...

knot‐free Comfort Drain sounds like a winner! I need to talk about it with my doc - current seton with a knot is very uncomfortable. Is it being used in USA?

I am participating in Filgotinib stage 2 clinical trials. My hope was to close complicated rectal fistula - draining seton in for 4 +years. Seton removed the day of trial start. After 3 month's, I developed an abscess in the external opening (it closed up)and had to have draining under...

I had it done. No luck... Abscess formed around it and fistula got infected.
