Had a resection in September and started Stelera in November . Had the iv induction dose followed by an injection 8 weeks later. Has been 10 weeks and am not one of the worst flare ups I've ever had. Hadn't had a flare since the resection so feeling frustrated and scared. Had severe allergic reaction to remicade,humira and cimzia. Entyvio didn't work and now I'm in a terrible flare. Wondering if there's anything left.
Feeling frustrated with Stelera

Originally had a lot of gas and diarrhea immediately right after the resection but that was different. This is bleeding, 15-20 bowels movements a day of pure diarrhea and horrible cramping pain, definitely in a flare for over a week now. Dr said I shouldn't have flared this badly with Stelera on board for over 10 weeks now. Getting scoped on Tuesday-upper and lower to see how bad the disease is and if Stelera has helped at all.
Thank you! If the scope shows active inflammation in places then my MD said will probably stop Stelera and only thing left is clinical trials and in scared to death of that. I want the Stelera to work soon.
