I'm sorry this is happening to you. I don't have any answers but will move your post to our fistula forum which hopefully will be seen by those with more experience. You are in my thoughts and I hope they find the right course of treatment.

I am so sorry to hear about these problems. Have they mentioned the biological st ask, particularly Remicade? They will sometimes try it to close a small pinhole fistula. I can understand why they don't want to do another surgery so soon, but intestinal fistulae can be hard to heal with meds.
