Hi all, brief history on me - I'm not fully diagnosed yet but it's almost certainly some type of IBD. Entocort has always worked well on my flare-ups in the past, usually it kicks in fairly quickly and I feel noticeably better.
However, not this time. I started flaring 4 weeks ago. Called my GI and he put me back on Entocort (9 mg). I've been back on the Entocort for nearly 4 weeks. But, it doesn't seem to have kicked in. I've been feeling worse, especially this week. Still having a lot of nausea, fatigue, urgent watery diarrhea anywhere from 10 - 20 times per day.
Anybody else had this happen? Did the Entocort eventually kick in? Or did the "flare" turn out to be something else like an infection? I did stool samples on Tuesday and will be calling my GI's nurse as soon as the office opens up to see if those results are back yet. I just don't know what to do, though. This really feels like a flare, and I'm super frustrated that I'm getting worse instead of better. I see my GI on Monday so hopefully then he'll have some answers for me, but in the meantime I thought I'd ask you guys. Anybody else experience an Entocort fail when it worked great in the past?
