Entyvio to begin

Posted by jkelble @jkelble, Apr 6 3:40pm

Hi, I had what I suspect is a flare up some 5 years ago and after a few colonoscopies, told I have inflammation from Crohns. Now I have been taking Mesalamine for a few years. What I don't understand is, I really have none of the usual symptoms other people are afflicted with like diarrhea, pain, or other things. I am starting entyvio as no inflammation is good inflammation. Not sure how I am to notice I am feeling better if I don't have usual symptoms?

i think a ultra scan will show if inflammation is going down or not . i had a 30cm section that was inflamed after ,entyvio fusions settled it right down . no need for surgery. Probiotics are very good too . all the best !

I don't have those symptoms from Crohn's either. I have constipation and inflammation in my lower bowel. I took first infusion of entivio and have felt nauseas since. Going to ask my doctor if this is normal.
