Just diagnosed

After ten years of issues I was just diagnosed, currently on entivio, but my main symptoms are diarrhea and extreme itchyness, I’ve tried every cream out there and the o ot thing that helped was prednisone, if I didn’t take Imodium everyday I’d have diarrhea. I’m off prednisone and the itching is back in full force, more so at night when I’m sleeping, the specialist put me on budeosinine enemas a couple days ago but it’s making it worse. Any tips or help for someone new please?

It sounds like you might have already tried it, but a diaper rash cream like zicofax might help. Entyvio can take a few months sometimes to take a strong hold. Hopefully you get things under control soon.

You could have a yeast infection, I would call the dr & ask for a script of Diflucan. You have nothing to lose, I've used the 2 pack pill with success before.

Have you done any stool testing, if not, ask for one, it doesn't hurt to check for any pathogens. Careful not to let yourself get dehydrated, very easy to do with diarrhea. Plain water will not replace what you are losing, eat saltine crackers with peanut butter, soups, yogurt, anything low residue. I've been hospitalized because of dehydration. At my very worst, my dr prescribed Lomotil, that was many years ago, not sure if one will prescribe it today.

I hope you get some help, it's just miserable with the entire mess.

Did you try Questran for diarrhea? My GI prescribes it before lunch and he thinks it is ok to take it on a daily basis, while he refuses that I take Imodium every day. Did you try sudocrem for the itching? Lidocaine also helps. Did you see a rectal surgeon? I always get this itching when I have fissures. Hot sitzbaths also help.
