Please don't feel like I'm attacking you personally in any way, im not. Just trying to have a conversation about what works and what doesnt and by no means, am i against alternative treatments. So as...
There are no proven alternative treatments for crohn's disease unfortunately. This is from one of authorities on the CD in the world. He also happens to be my DR. Not the friendliest guy, but he will...
I have been on 9mg entocort for over a year now and have had a hard time going down and its not considered a drug that you take long term (although i have read that people take it for years.) Thus,...
All your worries are totally legit and taking strong meds, with side effects is no fun. But, once again, ending up in the emergency room, because you dont have this under control is no fun either....
You are clearly health oriented, but like I said earlier, taking care of CD is #1, the rest will follow. Please dont take any of this as fear mongering or whatever. Im just talking from having this...

Hey, I would say make the effort and go see the best at Rubin. I actually have him too and although he comes off a little stern and business like, he is very, very good. Its your health and its not...
Thanks JaSanne. Im just scared that im on all these meds and at the end of the day, the only thing that works are the roids. Really appreciate your words of encouragement. I'm 34 and was diagnosed...
