Hi! I was diagnosed with UC in 2008. I was prescribed Mesalamine (Lialda), Mercaptopurine (6-MP), and folic acid and told I’d be on those medications for the rest of my life. In 2013, I discovered the medicinal benefits of Cannabis during a severe flare up. It helped with pain management and made food tolerable. In 2017, I decided to take charge of my health and changed my diet/lifestyle. I was able to come off all medications and achieved remission for 4 years! Unfortunately, the stress of 2020 ruined that with a pretty severe flare up. After a round of Flagyl and Prednisone, I was back in a brief remission. In July 2021 I had what started as a mild flare up but it was soon escalated with a bad case of c diff. My doctors said the disease has progressed and recommended Entyvio. I’m very anti-pharma and hate the idea of being on a pharmaceutical medication for the rest of my life. Has anyone successfully come off of a biologic/Entyvio and achieved remission through a more holistic path? Any insights on the pros/cons of Entyvio are appreciated as well 😊
