Hi everyone, we are new here.
Just posting this about my wife really. She was diagnosed with severe terminal ileal Crohn's just under a year ago but obviously has had milder symptoms for years previously that was attributed to IBS.she didnt respond to any medication at hospital. After around 6 months of inflixximab infusions she was readmitted and had a bowel resection around 2 months ago to remove a large stricture. Surgeon seemed quite upbeat at the time and said the Crohn's may not reoccur.
Since the op, the pain has definately decreased but the persistent emergency toilet trips havent and when she went for a follow up the surgeon did say that portion of removed bowel showed very active Crohn's and explained that Crohn's is a lifelong condition. She's waiting for a follow up now with the consultant but just wondered what other peoples experiences are and if the Crohn's is likely to or has come back!
Appreciate any responses!
thankyou
