Hi, I’m following this and would also be interested in your thoughts on biologics. I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 2 years ago and was in remission a few months on mesalamine and developed drug induced acute pancreatitis as a result of that. Prior to that, I had been taking Canasa and Uceris (budesonide) - both rectally because there is less systemic absorption. Prior to the UC, I had been in excellent health. My GI doc has been pushing Entyvio and I’m terrified of the side effects of biologics. I have been trying to find and talk to people that have taken them, as these flares are getting worse.... Thanks for any input, and good luck to you!

I personally have not taken them . I don’t think they are a good fit for me personally. It is very scary when you get to that point in the road and have to decide I’ve been there many times but always decided against them.Im sure they work well for lots of people.you have to personally weigh the pros and cons . Question for you though have you tried switching your diet I’ve found that cutting out gluten and dairy definitely helps .
