Thanks--the doctor told him the next step would be biologics which he doesn't really like to prescribe initially. Everything I have seen about people's experiences with duodenal crohns is that entocort and pentasa do not do much good.

Thanks everyone. We followed up with GI today and the Prometheus is positive for Crohns. He is treating it as such even though everything else has been negative (biopsies, bloods etc..).
