perhaps the theory may be that in your case the steriod will keep your inlet from blocking

I believe that is exactly the theory. He told me he is more concerned by the narrowing/segmental thickening of the ileum just above the pouch inlet than he is by the pouchitis. I think he would like to see if the Entocort will succeed in reducing the inflammation. I attempted at the 1 month mark to go off antibiotics and take Entocort exclusively, but after about 9 days I was having problems again. Now that I am at the 2 month mark of taking Entocort, he may want to try it again.

I was warned that if it gets worse it could be a real problem as that area of the ileum above the pouch inlet where I have the narrowing does not expand. That means big meals etc. could cause a blockage or even twisted bowel. So it could be a very dicy situation if it gets worse.
