Does anyone have a loop ileostomy? I have fistulas along with perianal Crohn’s Disease and had to have a loop ileostomy created so it can heal.
Is there anyone else going through this?

Mine is supposed to be temporary too. My surgeon doesn’t know right now if it will be reversed.

Hi AJR77,
I don't have an ileostomy but I am currently struggling to heal a small bowel fistula and we have recently learned I also have a urine fistula too. Since surgery lead to my fistulas they are reluctant to operate again. So in addition to 2 new stomas, I came home with an accordion drain to keep the drainage out of my pelvis.
What kind of fistulas do you have? I think there are several types.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.

I have 3 fistulas in the perianal area caused by Crohn’s disease. I had 3 setons placed there a few months ago. I had to have my jpouch disconnected and a loop illeostomy created to rest and heal rectal area.
