Any shitting problem is brutal.
Some doctors recommend a carnivore diet as being effective in treating Crohns.Worth trying before having radical treatments.
My dad has has had crohns for 8 years--he's 70 now. 12" of intestines removed and appendix removed due to crohns. No bag though and no more severe pain. But he pretty much poops right after he eats. Horrible disease to have.
That sucks SF.
Awful affliction. Would be miserable being tied to a toilet.
