Looks like a classic exam results for crohns. Nothing to worry about that much I’d say.

Hi Jessica, thanks for sharing your experience and I hope you keep doing well

Hi guys I'd like to give an update... the fistula is not confirmed, it was only a speculation of the radiologists, so I won't need a surgery soon... I'm back on entyvio.

What does surgeon suggest? Have you already had an obstruction yet? For how long have you been on stelara? If not much i’d wait a bit and see...

That’s great. The structure was in the ileum or colon?

I agree with Dan, change your doctor to get Questran.

I agree, had similar story and received similar advices from my docs

I like the second guess :D Side effects of predonison are plenty, so would not surprised me much if it was that

If its been 3 years of obstructive like pain, probably surgery would help with that, before risking a real osbtruction and possibly an emergency surgery. Never easy to go for surgery... I’m amost there too

good luck my friend. I'm in a kind of similar situation... had a surgery in 2013, luckily not emergency, and did strictureplasty instead of resections. Now i'm candidate for another surgery within probably 4-6 months, as I have again stenoses and a non symptomatic fistula in the small bowel...

I like to think our condition must not drive our professional and personal life. Nice to say, but not always easy... However if you strongly want to move then move, you’ll find ways to manage it. I’d not mention your condition to the hr now. You already proved to be a good candidate even with...

Hi welcome on the forum, unfortunately the first flare or onset of Crohn's disease is usually the worst moment, so I understand your worries. The worst symptoms, and fever will disappear once you get the right treatment, so hang on there! You'll feel better soon. The advices I'd give you to...

I dont think there is a specific indication to avoid any alcohol wit humira. However for your liver and for the possible inflammation in your bowel, i’d say it’s better to limit it. I wish I know precisely if with crohns we sould avoid alcohol at all or not...

Yes but results in terms of efficacy is low.... especially for a medication that pretend the theory behind the use of anti-tnf is wrong...

I think tethering may mean there is a fistula going from the terminal ileum to the sigmoid colon... or an adherence between the two... that’s how i’d understand that, but of course ask the gi to explain better. If there is a fistula between the ileum and the colon, there could be an indication...

Regarding how long it takes for een to put you in remission, i think some studies showed results after 8 weeks (pls double check, and do some research as i’m not sure)

There are interesting studies on non exclusive EEN that seems to work. Check out this : https://mymodulife.com/ I’m doing a kind of non exclusive een myself as i have strictures etc... taking modulen instead of food for dinner except the weekend. It helps me a bit easing symptoms, but no idea...

Very strange observation... never heard such thing... At least your gi is positive. Mine will always look to negative things, and dont care if some part of the bowel are healed if others are still inflammed...

Yeah man sounds a lot, but actually the symptoms were the same than having only one and the surgeons didnt seem to be surprised or worried about it... they said they had seen worst cases with more strictures... that’s what crohns do at the end, in every point you find disease, strictures can...

Kiny, thank you again for your very interesting replies. However you are maybe a bit unfair with some of the new biologics. entyvio takes months to work, cause if i’m not wrong it binds new lymphocytes T to activate inside the gi tract... so for months the old ones will still be activated...
