    Entyvio out Remicade in

    After trying Cimzia and Entyvio with no improvement I'm now on Remicade. I've only had 1 infusion but it stopped the stomachs I've gotten for the last 4 years. I hope it continues to help me. My only complaint is insomnia.

    Taking less Entocort?

    I am on Pentasa, which I will always take, but I also take 1 capsule of entocort per day. I am feeling really good right now but I'm afraid of what the entocort will do to me in the long run so I'm thinking about taking one capsule every other day. Has anyone tried this? Dee
