Hello @David1976, thank you for opening this discussion. Let me tag some other members who can possibly share with you on this!
Hi everyone, how are you today? For those of you who have had an ostomy (ileostomy or colostomy) done for your Crohn's disease, can you share a bit about your experience? Is your stoma permanent or temporary? Has it helped your Crohn's in the long term? Have you had to adapt your life to it in any way?

Hi there,
I got my ileostomy in 2019. It has helped me immensely. I no longer have to run to the bathroom every two seconds or make sure I know where all the bathrooms are when I have to go out. I also dont have so much pain anymore. 8 have other health problems, but my crohns is fine. Haven't had a flare since.
Hope this helps.
