Dr had me on Pentasa for1 week and I didn't see a great improvement, but didn't feel to bad either...when I told him this he said it must not be working and wants me to take one week of prednisone pack...I don't know if I want to take the risk of the side effects...I'm feeling ok at this time and think the side effects maybe worse than my symptoms.....what to do...all this is freaking me out...I don't even know what he is treating me for. Only thing that has shown positive was the igG and it was 35. Capsule endoscopy showed nothing!
