Abstract
BACKGROUND:
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) is an immunomodulatory drug, and its use in inflammatory bowel disease has previously been reported. The aim of this study was to review the Leeds Colitis Clinic experience of the safety and efficacy of MMF in treating patients with refractory Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This is an extension of a previously published study from our center with a longer follow-up period and approximately twice the number of patients.

Has anyone tried this one?:sign0085:

This is interesting. I know they also use thalidomide (sp?) for boys/men and cyclosporine, tacrolimus/prograf in refractory CD. Are those options for your son?

Sorry mlp don't have any experience w this so can't help, the results don't look too promising though . Where abouts are you located? Are there other options out there? Maybe SSI vaccine trial, or something else in the works? Hope things start gettin better for the little one.
