After having an ileostomy in 1969, at age 11, I enjoyed 38 wonderful medication free years of remission from Crohn's. Since having a hysterectomy at age 49, my Crohn's is back with a vengeance. It has gotten to the point that I am on weekly Humira injections. I think there is a very strong connection between the hysterectomy, instant menopause, and the recurrence of the Crohn's, but my gastroenterologist and gynecologist have not been especially helpful, and I can't seem to find anybody in the medical community to help me. I've thought about a nutritionist, but he/she wouldn't be able to assist with any hormonal inbalance. Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
