Teresa, Volunteer Mentor, sorry for delayed response. Still trying to figure out this chat site. Only side effect I have been experiencing is constipation, which has always been an issue for me. What's interesting is my 2022 colonoscopy showed nothing, then after my first ever flare up last June 2024, all of the sudden I have Chrons? Have not had a flare up since. BTW, finally got to see a new gastro for a 2nd opinion and she said I had chronic constipation and not Chrons. I was so relieved. But then she ordered 3 more separate tests, and called to let me know I do in fact have Chrons. Its been a bit of a merry go round for me. I'm a bit overwhelmed and still trying to figure out what I want to do.

Hope you get good answer/direction, It can be hard to find doctor that is well versed in Crohn's & U.C.
I have been in remission for 40 plus years and now crohn's has showed up.
I was told by a Mayo doctor I should get on med sooner than later, He put me on Skyrizi, and has brought my crohn's markers down to very close to normal.
Take care
