@Fight like a girl posted:I too have pouch ulcers. Many..right now I have 5. Different locations & size. Dr S hen always treated me with kindness & respect. He did a procedure a few yrs ago by injections of sugar water into ulcers. Crazy sounding but they were bleeding ulcers & that stopped the bleeding but didn't stop them from existing. Dr Philpott who i now see at ccf says that is to be expected the pouch is compromised with infection & inflammation. Waiting now for entyvio infusions to be approved for every 4 weeks instead of 8. ( been on for over a yr now) not sure what yo do to get our pouches healthy! Some day I pray that the docs will find a cure. Right now I'm in so much pain. Right side hurts so bad & rectal pain is unbearable. Just finished 2 courses of flagyl. No relief. After 31 yrs. Perhaps time to think about surgery
if that is to be expected then why are you on biologics? I also have Dr Philpott as well when Shen left, I like her but not comfortable with her yet and Dr Remzi told me to see Dr Dietz at University who he trained.
