Hello @akaahm,

Welcome to Connect; Crohn's Disease can make coping with day-to-day life such a struggle. We're glad you've come to Connect, where you will meet many members with similar symptoms who can help answer your concerns.

@mjgarr, @lija, @david1952, @stargirl, @smashly, @hopex, @nidhi, have all discussed taking Budesonide, and I hope will join this conversation.

@thankful, @jay_baruch, @chicoco, @gonefishinmt, @karma, @danrofohio, @ramonab, @tonia, @klisa24, @girls5kmd, could you also please share your experience about taking Imuran?

@akaahm, did you know that Mayo Clinic has a blog on IBD (Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis)? Here is a quick link to the blog's posts and videos where Mayo Clinic gastroenterologists talk about Imuran (Azathioprine):

@akaahm, we would love to know more about your journey with Crohn's; other than medications, how have you managed to deal with the disease?
