Reply to "Veteran Pouch, now Crohn's"

I have had Crohn's for about 5 years now , has progressed to my J pouch ( installed1985 at CC , UC since age 20 in 1965) started treatment with Canasa, then Remicade infusions for 3yrs now, which slowed down the diarrhea but is not helping much with inflammation,  about to start on Entyvio with hopes of mitigation. Still on Canasa, unknown if it is helping unless I stop. I buy it "cheap" from Canada out- of- pocket. Been lucky symptom wise from these reads, I just have annoying urgency issues, some diarrhea, gas. Imodium helps if I time it right. Concerned about eventually loosing my pouch, age 74 , staying active as much as possible, paying more attention to diet, little red meat, grease. Not familiar with a lot of medical terms mentioned, just an average IQ here, should have paid more attention, just retired maybe now I will.
