I really need to hear some people’s experience with Entyvio. I have Crohn’s of the pouch, I have tried to manage things holistically for years (probiotics, diet, etc. ) which has helped but I haven’t achieved remission. I’m TERRIFIED to try Entyvio because of all the side effects and I still don’t really believe it’s solving the root problem, but if I could actually achieve remission maybe it’s worth it? Any insight from anyone who has taken it—negative or positive

I’ve been taking it since July—I’ve had 4 treatments for pouchitis. (K pouch)  I have had NO side effects and my pouchitis is gone. Had a scope from Dr Shen in oct—after 3 infusions. I was quite surprised at the outcome. Also I have been receiving iron treatments for the last 17 years and this is the first year I didn’t need one! I am very happy with the results so far. dr Shen says people can take entivyo for years without a problems.

Good Luck

I have had really good luck with Entyvio. (Much better than Remicade, which gave me horrible side effects.)  I too have crohns and at my last scope, the Entyvio seemed to be working well on healing the ulceration in my pouch. I've also had fewer bouts of pouchitis.  (Unfortunately, I like junk food with sugar and my pouch doesn't always "cooperate" well after eating it. I do much better decreasing my sugar intake.)

I've been on Entyvio for about two years now.

I also failed Remicade. Yeah I’m a dietitian so my diet and supplement regimen is very good and has definitely helped but just not quite enough. Have you had side effects with Entyvio?
