I hope the Entyvio helps you! It is a monoclonal antibody and targets inflammation areas. I was surprised that my collagenous collitis had disappeared because I thought I had it for keeps. Crohn's Disease is elusive at times. Symptoms can come and go. I also had a duodenal stricture which I understood was permanent. That is no longer there either. I know these weren't misdiagnosed because the doc did an endoscopy (EGD) and actually stretched the stricture during several endoscopies. The colon was biopsied. I'm glad I finallywent to Mayo Clinic, which was where I was diagnosed with Crohn's. The doctors before Mayo told me that I would have to have the duodenum and part of my stomach removed because of the stricture! That sent me running to Mayo! I still have my stomach, intestines, getting Entyvio, and am doing very well! (4 years now.)
I wish you the best with your treatment!

All you say is very positive. I’ve read on this site that Entyvio had stopped working for some people and that worried me. You are a good example that it continues to work and also heals.
I’ve had no adverse side affects.
I understand my immune system is lowered so I always wear a mask when I’m out and about as a precautionary measure. I try to stay safe.
Thank you for the communication.
