Hi all
My brother also has CD so I am asking this for him.
He has, through the last 10+ years, had surgeries to deal with 4 different hernias. Now he is going for a surgical consult this week because they believe he has two more.
So, I am wondering, is there any link between IBD and developing hernias?
Is there any research on this that anyone may know of ?
I appreciate any responses and opinions !
He takes 6mp and prednisone (as needed).
