Scope results

I had a follow up scope yesterday to see how stelara was working with the addition of methotrexate -- not the results i wanted. All the remaining colon ( I have an ostomy) still has moderate disease. He was only able to get into about 15cm of the small bowel due to significant looping, but it looked clear of crohns. So I will be increasing Stelara to once a month, still adding methorexate and see what happens. The other options if that fails are Cimzia + MTX and the last option is to remove the remaining colon and end up with an ileostomy. Cross your fingers for me that the increased Stelara does the trick!

Lamb, sorry to hear what showed up on the scope. Hopefully moving the Stelara more frequently will do the trick. One thing about this disease, it's so dang unpredictable.

Keep us posted please.
