Reply to "Veteran Pouch, now Crohn's"

I also am coming to terms with possible Crohns one biopsy showed a granuloma another showed idiopathic IBD all taken from within the pouch and at the inlet. My pouch was constructed in 1987. Have had issues over the years with obstructions and finally quit eating any fibre. Had a limited diet until last Aug. 2011 could not eat at all only fluids would go through. Any how what was suppose to be UC now is something else. Tried methotexate with no help also tried dilation no joy there either am now on prednisone started at 20 a day which has helped a great deal can only get down to 15mg then the issues are back. After reading about the possible side effects from biologics I think prednisone may be the lessor of two evils. Am to see a surgeon in To to see what he has to say but hope to stay on the pred as long as I can. Am having a lot of issues with indigestion 4 zantac, 2 nexium and sulcrate times 4 a day still does not stop the discomfort. Am going to ask my GI next Fri to have a look to make sure I still have an esophagus(sp?)Life is just a bowl of cherries too bad about the pits!!!!
