Medications and Treatments
Crohn's / Colonoscopy Hello, not sure if I've ever posted here before... anyway, I had a colon resection in January 2025. Dr removed 8cm of large intestine. I was hospitalized for 2.5 weeks and 2.5 more at a rehab center. My follow-up colonoscopy was last week. I know some pathology labs were done. Yesterday I received a notice of 3 new meds were ordered 2 ... 2 for antibiotics for Infection and 1 is for stomach acids. However, I have an appointment to see Gl in July??? I would have appreciated a notification or something. I am thankful lab don't appear too concerning. Let me why l am taking these meds. Not on Biologics at the moment, I guess that's good v r. Any thoughts on the matter?
