I would say everything is consistent with having a flare (really, your symptoms sound quite bad, even if you've had it worse... the problem with flaring for a long time is that you forget what normal is...).
That doesn't rule out another cause of course. You could repeat the c diff test, or test for other infections if you want to be really certain... but most likely you are flaring.
Hope entyvio gives you some relief!

I guess I have forgotten what normal is like...😪 I pray Entyvio changes some things.

Has anyone switched from Remicade to Entyvio, and if so, how long do you have to wait in between ending one and starting the other?

The infusion center called late this evening letting me know it was approved, however they couldn’t advise when I could schedule because I just had a Remicade infusion on Wednesday (March 10th) and that we will have to wait to hear from the doctor when she is in next week.

I think I had about a month between remicade and entyvio infusions, although don't remember exactly, there was definitely some overlap.
I felt better after a few weeks and managed to wean off prednisone, but unfortunately for me I still could not get a remission (still had pain and urgency) so after giving entyvio 4 infusions (14 weeks?) I switched to xeljanz.

I really hope I have success like some of you have!

I tried Humira first but failed after 6 months with no relief. I’ve been on Remicade for 2 years but never achieved remission. It definitely improved symptoms but CRP was always high , never had normal BMs.

I don’t get any relief with prednisone anymore , just the lovely side effects so I’m very hesitant to try them again to help achieve remission....

I hope my doc is okay with starting my Entyvio soon. I’m very very nervous for some reason but maybe I’ll get lucky this time!

Sorry - that wasn't the positive reply you were hoping for. My advice would be to find out if Clipper is something you can try, and throw everything at trying to halt the flare up before you get worse - 'treat both ends' as Gastros advise.

My emergency 'throw everything at it' treatment is something like: mesalazine tablets, enemas and suppositories, turmeric, slippery elm, probiotics, dietary changes (eg low sugar, low fibre, avoiding wheat), and sometimes Clipper, on top of the Humira I've been taking for 6 years.

I am sorry it has been so rough lately. Wishing you better days soon. Diarrhea 10-15 times a day, cramping , urgency alone sound like a terrible flare leaving aside lab tests. Have you introduced anything new into your diet or supplements that may be triggering this? Have you been stressed lately? If this is just that unpredictable nature of the disease, advice I would give is go very easy with a light diet, lots of bone broth, zuchhini, light easy to digest food, black berry and pomegranate fresh juice (though well strained to remove seeds especially as they can irritate the gut). Liquorice root tea is a natural steriod and stops me from going into a flare and controls it too (It can interact with other medications though so do your research well if you intend to try this). Wishing you the very best and hope the new line of treatment bring relief.
I tend to believe there are people for whom standard meds work and then those for whom they don't at all and then a third group for whom a combination of standard meds and holistic treatments work best. You alone will have to figure this out for yourself.
Try getting your turmeric supplementation by adding turmeric powder to food while cooking or making golden milk if the turmeric supplements aggravate you. something about cooking and heating it makes a difference to its tolerability for many.

I have read a lot people on this forum and others talk highly of slippery elm and L-glutamine for leading them out of flare until they could get on a regime that worked for them. All the best
