Talk to your doctor about changing medicine, also how bad is your crohns, some peoples quality of life goes up a lot after getting colostomy.

You can cure crohn's with a shit transplant or by shoving probiotic milkshakes up there or whatever
Learned this from a /sci/ post

I take Infliximab(Remicade) for my severe Crohn's disease. Is that what you take?

Have you looked into colostomies? Not that I'd want one or that it looks comfortable. I just hear peoples quality of life goes up.

I want to fuck a colostomy girl

I don't need one. The medication seems to be working and have no symptoms. I always have blood when pooping though but it's from a fissure from pushing hard I suppose, not ulcerations from a flare.
I follow the recommended diet perfectly so I've not had issues other than constipation. My quality of life is perfectly good and haven't had a flare in about one year now.

A colostomy would be with the colon but an ileostomy would be more likely for Crohn's disease.

I'm assuming that this is the same person. you don't have surgery unless there is no other option. having surgery with Crohn's is effectively a death sentence. flares return after surgery in the place that your bowels were reconnected, and you have to continually have surgery. once you start to cut out your small intestine, you cannot digest nutrients anymore, and you die. surgery on your large and small intestines is the absolute last option for Crohn's.

The only medications for corhn's are going to be those that modulate the immune system and make him susceptible to infections, as he is currently

And as >>10595379 pointed out, we like to think of surgery as an option that is shitty and involves making a sacrifice but solves the problem, but in reality its often an option that is shitty and involves making a sacrifice and doesn't entirely solve the problem
