    Stopping Prevalite While Pregnant

    Hi All, I have Crohn’s in my small bowel and had my terminal ileum resected a few years ago. Ever since, I’ve been on Prevalite (along with my other Crohn’s meds) to help control diarrhea caused by excess bile salts. My husband and I want to TTC soon. My GI just told me that I will have to stop...

    Hello All

    I will admit - I've been a lurker on this forum for over a year now, but I've finally come clean. I got diagnosed in 2010 at the age of 22, but I had symptoms for 3+ years before I was diagnosed. I've tried and utterly failed Pentasa and Entocort. Prednisone works for me with minimal side...
