hello eveyone, ive just found this site after sitting at home feeling sorry for myself. ive just had my third flare up and now the surgeon is talking aboat me haveing the operation to remove the infected part of the bowel. im not to sure aboat this as he said there is a chance i could end up with a colostomy bag. i am very concerned aboat this and am very worried, i wonder if anyone is also going through this at this present time. at the moment he has put me on mesalazine tablets and ciprofloxacin which dont seem to be working. i am waiting for my 2nd colonoscopy, the first one i has aboat 2years ago they couldnt manage to sedate me so didnt go ahead, i was wondering if its normal to have a permanent tummy ache and permanent diarea. thanks for any help you can offer
