GI fistulas in IBD folks are notoriously, NOTORIOUSLY hard to heal.

A fistula becomes "part" of you, so your body sees no urgency to make it go away. It just reads it as part of your GI tract. My fistula isn't big, but left alone without intervention, it'll never, ever just disappear.

Add IBD in the mix, and it's even worse for us.

Certain fistulas can exist, yet give little issue. Abscesses, though, need intervention with draining, generally.

I feel your pain, I really, really I do, but I'm not surprised from some personal and nursing experience. Hope they have some new info for you!
