Advice on colitis & ostomy reversal with lingering control issues?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who has been dealing with colitis and had to undergo an ostomy due to ovarian cancer spreading to the sigmoid colon. The individual is considering a reversal of the ostomy but is concerned about potential control issues due to colitis.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider the proposition of reversal carefully, as the problems experienced before the ostomy might return, leading to a lack of control.
- Look into irrigation if having a colostomy, as it might eliminate the need for wearing a bag.
- Explore new medications available for colitis and consult with gastroenterologists before making a decision on reversal.
- If previous medications did not control colitis, consider trying Stelera or Humira, which have shown promising results for some individuals.
- Pay attention to the body's responses and stay in contact with medical teams to prevent the recurrence of colitis.
- There is no rush to make a decision, so take time to consider the options and priorities before deciding on reversal.
