Hello All,
My son has been virtually symptom free since being diagnosed in 2011. Used EN and Pentasa only, after an initial taper of prednisone. In March he started experiencing bellyaches and has since had them on and off the last 7 weeks. We implemented a new diet and supplements since April 3rd, but I feel like I don't have the time to wait anymore and need to consider a new maintenance drug. My GI likes Methotrexate, but of course I'm so fearful of all these drugs. Just looking for some success stories and Happy IBDers after beginning this treatment. How long did it work? Was the nausea unbearable after the shot? I know many go to 6mp, but with all the adolescent boy risks of cancer, I cannot even think about that drug. HELP!!!
