**apart from the Rectum I'm good. Today GI office also drew blood for a complete work up (upon Crohn's Forum collective advice I requested for them to include my B-12 levels) should have the results Monday.

If you can understand and have any advice. Share.

I wish us all peace.

Good deal. Were they just doing a checkup or are they still trying to determine Crohn's/UC?

HI David,
I had my reverse ileostomy...this is what they found during my follow up colonoscopy/endoscopy. So we have a clear path to "remission". The blood was ordered because I had not been checked in a while. Thanks.

What is your GI's plan for your rectum? Will pred foams and enemas help or an oral medication? Glad the rest is looking good!

Crabby,

I went over the results with my GI on Friday(4/20). I'm being reffered to the IBD Group. Friday (4/27) I have my next visit to discuss Tysabri. In the meantime I've been bumped up to 40mg prednisone, (prescribed some sort of enema--my pharmacy said to pick it Monday), this weekend I've used Canasa 1000 mg suppositories each night before bed.
I've never heard of "pred foams" --what is that?

 

[Jennifer]

It's a foam enema of Prednisone. There are also Cortifoam enemas: http://www.drugs.com/mtm/cortifoam-foam-enema.html
