Entyvio

Hi everyone,

I’m back with more questions. My new GI had me do a Calprotectin test 6 weeks ago and my level was 421. she did a scope and found that my pouch is great, but she saw concerning inflammation at the affrent limb. She strongly indicated Entyvio is in my near future. I did 4 weeks of Pred starting at 40mg……. I had labs done yesterday at the rheumatologist and my SED was 44 and CPR was mildly elevated. I redid the Calprotectin test Tuesday and see my GI next week. i saw my Colorectal doc last week (who has been my primary pouch care doc for 27) years and when I told him about the Entyvio, he looked a bit surprised. i asked him if he thought it was “overkill” and he very carefully tried not to countermand her. After a minute of silence, he began to tell me that “since I did so well on Remicade in 2012), maybe it would be a good idea. I’m a little perplexed. i feel fine, nothing out of the ordinary. Any thoughts out there?

THANKS!!
