Signs of Crohns after UC and j-pouch surgery

Originally diagnosed with crohns 2009.   In 2012, had 3 step J-pouch surgery. Was told pathology showed UC not crohns. No major problems until now five years later. I have pouchitis and inflammation in my esophagus, stomach, and small intestine as well. So now they tell me it’s looking like crohns. No response to Pentasa, antibiotics, or entocort. My doc is now recommending Entyvio. I am concerned about the side effects and risk of future problems. Also because I am working as a nurse and exposed to illness. Anyone have a similar situation having to go on biologics after j-pouch? Crohns diagnosis after UC and pouch? And has anyone had positive results with Entyvio? Thanks
