Hello everyone, So my doctor finally sent me the full workup of my small bowel capsule endoscopy. Despite having a perianal abscess 7 years ago, there were no signs of Crohn's and they say it was...
I'm honestly quite shocked by the level of animosity there has been towards anti-MAP therapy in the GI field. The fact that some people have gone into permanent remission after treatment is proof...
Just out of curiosity, if it is starting to stricture, why are they doing a resection and not a stricturplasty in order to preserve intestinal length? I would think that would be the foremost goal...

Hello Everyone, I don't have Crohn's Disease (to the best of my knowledge) but I was wondering if anyone abscess experience can help me out. On October 31st, 2014 I had a perianal abscess incised and...
