Collagen treatments?

Hi all,
New here but been stalking the threads. Very helpful so thank you!
My husband has UC and he is on the brink of surgery in the next few months as he’s had a non-stop flare since beginning of last summer.
I do all the reading and suggestions for him, and have come to understand that the mucosal lining of his intestines are non existent. I’ve heard of collagen as a supplement but can’t seem to find too much information about it.

Anyone have any treatments or supplement recommendations to help build the mucosal lining? I’m currently pumping his system with probiotics and enzymes but I don’t think it can stick without some help of mucous. TIA

Maybe we are quick to jump the gun to surgery... he’s just sick of being sick. The meds seem to be working for now, with the prednisone, so just seeing if maybe there is something we haven’t tried?

He’s back and forth about going through with surgery, so I’ll throw everything at the wind to see if something takes flight! Maybe the better statement should be that he’s open to electing the surgery because, you’re right, he doesn’t want to waste more time on the toilet and having a potentially much better quality of life.

Thanks for the response and any ideas you may have too!

Has he had stool tests? If there's a pathogen it would need to be treated. Ultimately, doing well on prednisone doesn't mean much. We need to do well when we are off prednisone. Did the doctors bring up Xelljanz? Remicade could possibly be given in a larger dose, or more frequently, but it mostly depends on the reason for lack of improvement.
