Saw my specialist today. He's diagnosed me woth ulcerative colitis at this stage, though he says it could be still crohns but that at this beginning stage of treatment it doesn't matter as treatment is the same.
He's put me on pentasa and prednisone and will do a small bowel mri to check for strictures once I've been on the pred for a while. Follow up colonoscopy in a few months and he will see me again in 3 weeks.
So...what are people's experience with pentasa and how quickly can I expect the pred to work?
