My wife has had crohns disease for over thirty five years and has gone through some horrific operations.
She has had all her large bowel removed , then developed fistulers and absess had another operation to remove them and had a section of small bowel removed .
docs said crohns has gone and gave her no medication , crohns came backhad another operation took out some more small bowell also lost a kidney through it too she now only has 18 centimetres of bowell left cant put on weight an keeps dehidrating .
every thing she eats or drinks just goes straight through her, I WAS WANDERING if anyone else has gone through the same thing can they give advise on how to gain weight and stop dehidrating .
would be very much obliged if anyone can help thank you .
