I would definitely try Remicade before going to ostomy.! I would basically do most anything to avoid that, for the reasons you said as well as my concern about skin deterioration/ infection with osteomy. That said, I was on Remicade before my jpouch for over 4 years and it was extremely effective, until it suddenly wasn’t. I did experience multiple skin cancers though doctors have suggested that Imuran and other drugs I was on also may have contributed to skin cancers. I’d deal with those anyway to have UC in remission for few years! Just me! Good luck!
