Hello,my name is Clare, I was diagnosed in my early 20's with Crohns colitis. I was in and out of hospital for many years with flare ups. Luckily,I have not had surgery. A few years ago I had another flare up that lasted a year,it was a niggly kind of flare up that put me in hospital a couple of times,with a new diagnosis of Ulcerative colitis of the left side of large bowel all the way down.
They think I never had Crohns afterall.
I was visited in hospital by a surgeon,bt it was decided for me to try various treaments i.e liquid diet, nicotine patches !!!!(I dont smoke),and heavy duty antibiotics.The good news was since then (6/7 yrs ago) I am fairly stable.
the only thing is my consultant now wants me off Aza and I am scared. Anyway,hope to chat and share help. clare x
