The infusion therapy I receive is actually for Krones (sp) Disease and IBS but none of the medications I took could take care of my symptoms. It's Entyvio. It has relieved my diarrhea but still cramping, crippling fatigue, no appetite and continued weight loss. I had to wait for approval from Medicare before I could receive, the infusions cost $42,000 a year, too rich for my blood to pay. I get my 4th infusion tomorrow. Keep me posted as to how you are doing.

I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis about 7 years ago through a biopsy. Nothing seemed to help the symptoms. I went to Mayo Clinic (Phoenix) and had another series of tests and was placed on Entyvio. The microscopic colitis actually had disappeared, as my colonoscopy biopsies were now negative but I do have Crohn's Disease (I have 2 markers for Crohn's) . I have been on the Entyvio for 3 years now and it does a really good job.
