Intestine resection surgery

[cle207]

Thirty-seven years ago I had intestine resection surgery because of Crohn’s disease. Recently I had an endoscopy and a colonoscopy. There were no signs of Crohn’s or colitis. Still I have symptoms of Crohn’s. Because of the shorting of the intestinal tract I have persistent diarrhea. Imodium AD helps with diarrhea.

my daughter had this surgery due to a perforation a year and a half ago - she is still not having a normal poo - have you always had diarrhoea since surgery all those years ago? Good news no chrones spotted on colonoscopy - my daughter was told it could return within 10 years after surgery so you sound lucky in that respect

Yes. Diarrhoea has been an issue until the AD.

It took about two weeks to notice the difference.
