Do people with an ileostomy metabolize medication differently?

I've been an ileostomy'er for 22 years, now 71 years old, and have just been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis by a rheumatologist. Been suffering from Back, Hip, Knee, Kidney stone, Muscle ache, nausea pain for 14 years, and now Neck and Shoulder Pain. I also have been curious how fast oral medicines pass through the body of a person without a colon ( ileostomy patent )? I fear the new med that is being proscribed for me, after reading the warning of the side effects of HUMIRA.

G13, you may also wish to join the discussions about ankylosing spondylitis in the Autoimmune Diseases group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/autoimmune-diseases/

Might the medications for AS be available in oral liquid form or as an injection as suggested by @kenc and @steve1k ?
