Hi,
My 7 year old is very recently diagnosed. She did 8 wks of EEN & then moved on to 25mgs of 6MP daily. After 10 days she had very bad side effects, vomiting, diahoerra, sweating, fast shallow breathing. We re-trialed it 4 days later & she woke up vomiting within 6 hours of the dose. I now know what “intolerant” to a drug means!
So what would any of you recommend for her to trial next? I’d like to try the lesser meds first. She is not fond of needles She apparently has mild to moderate Crohn’s but I know that can change at any time. Her bloods & CRP are normal at present as on partial EEN & low residue diet.
We’ll take the GIs advice but he’s away on holidays so would just like guidance as to what he might recommend so I’ve researched the drug first.
Thanks,
Aoife
