I find it to be my cure.
I've had it (end ileo) for over five years.
Small hiccups at the start adjusting.
But I haven't seen a Dr for over 3 years and no plans to see one soon for it. It works fine.
I have no pain. I had years of pain.
I take no meds for it.
I feel free from all of that.
So in my perspective it is my cure.
Sure. I have to change the appliance.
But that becomes a thing like shaving or showering.
Gotta do the maintenance and personal upkeep.
I'm fortunate. I consider myself fortunate.
All the stuff I went through to get here and have a good outcome is amazing.
It's not perfect but it's 100 percent better than where I was. Cause I was in a bad place for a long time.

To me its not a cure because we have to have our situation for life and we still need our gastros of course. Do you have to get ileoscopy check-ups???
