Abscess and Fistulas

Over the past 5 years I have been prone to getting perianal abscess' and fistulas. Often times I have to go into emergency at the hospital and either get the abscess drained, or get a MRI done to see if it is deeper than the surface. One of the three abscess' I've gotten in this period of time required surgery. They can be extremely uncomfortable and have to be treated quickly because the infection can cause fever, chills, etc.

I am pretty prone to cystic acne on my face as well, (especially because of having to wear a mask all the time for covid). I believe it has to do with the fact that I am on entyvio and have UC as well; so these might contribute to the flare ups.

So I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if there was any natural solution. Possibly a change in diet or something like that. I unfortunately haven't gotten the chance to talk with a dietitian but I find that a lot of people with a j-pouch kind of find their own niche diet that works for them.  Anyways, thanks for reading and any tips would be appreciated.
