Recurring Crohn's after ileostomy - Diagnosis and treatment?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about individuals who have experienced Crohn's symptoms after having an ileostomy. The original poster is seeking information on how the diagnosis was made and how the condition was treated.

Advice and Insights:
- Crohn's can return after getting an ileostomy, but having an ostomy can make life easier in many ways.
- Treatment for Crohn's is not simple and varies from person to person.
- There are promising trials with medications these days, with different treatments such as over-the-counter meds, IV treatments like Remicade, or injections like Humira.
- Crohn's only goes into remission and can lurk in the shadows, and stress can bring on attacks and worsen symptoms.
- Some individuals have had success with dietary changes, stress management, and specific supplements like fish oil capsules.
- The symptoms of Crohn's can be similar to other conditions like ulcers and gastritis, and diagnostic tools like swallowing a pill that takes pictures have been suggested by doctors.
