cheers guys realy helping!!! well at the minute she is only suffering from minor stomach pains, kinda like wind pains but worse lol, and thats all so for now, to begin with she was suffering from MAJOR pains like you say just curling up in a ball and bearing it! i think shes just gonna continue on the pentasa and consider this new drug, which the doctor has recommended, in a few months.
crohns is when ur immune system kinda attacks iteself in ur digestive system so stopping ur immune system should stop crohns, but in the leaflet she has about it it does say it leaves you open to lots of quite serious side effects…. osteoperosis, lymphoma, avoid people with flu etc. as that can turn nasty very easily in you, more sensitive to sun on skin…skin cancer the list continues a long way.
i was wondering what drugs people have been on if anyone knows e.g. pentasa? also how long have these taken to work? shes been on pentasa a good while now and still gets pains now and then. she has been told she has narrowing of the small intestine so has to avoid high fibre foods.
