Hello everyone, My names Tom, I have suffered with crohns for 14 years now, over the years i have had several small flair ups and have tried various tablets and tnf blockers to keep my condition at bay, so far i have tried Asacol, Azathioprine, Humia,and infliximab.
For the past 8 months iv suffered with my worst ever flair up.(chronic exhaustion, endless amounts of mouth ulcers, numerous visits to the toilet)
Being fed up I did some research online and found out about a new drug trial which they are testing on 30 people in the uk who have not been successful on the drugs i previously taken, the drug is called GSK786 and the trial lasts for 12 weeks and there is a 1 in 3 chance its a placebo and a good chance its either a half dose or the full drug. So far im on day 4 but no signs of it showing improvement yet.
I the meantime can anyone help with advice as to how they help supplement their exhaustion and mouth ulcers as im so fed up with it, also would foods they would avoid.
Many thanks
