Rinvoq and proctitis

I’m a Crohn’s patient. I failed Remicade last November after being on it for 7 years. I developed an allergic reaction and had to be switched to Stelara. Started Stelara February 2023 every 4 weeks and things got worse on it. I developed a new perianal fistula, have blood loss and the pain in the terminal ileum is unbearable. I also have proctitis and keep flaring up. The only rectal med I can take is pentasa suppository as any enemas irritate my fistula.
I failed Stelara too after 7 months and will be switched to Rinvoq. Does Rinvoq control rectal inflammation? I’m flaring up nowadays and can’t even retain Pentasa suppositories and would rush to the toilet after I insert them and am really having hard times to put my symptoms under control. I asked my GI whether Rinvoq would control my rectal inflammation and he said “No”. Given that proctitis is part and parcel of UC, does Rinvoq control proctitis or not? I have no other options at the time being other than starting Rinvoq.

Thank you poopydoop. Maybe he thinks that it might not be effective for Crohn’s proctitis as neither Remicade nor Stelara could ever control my rectal inflammation and I had to take rectal meds. This could have been caused by the difference in the nature of the disease in both UC and CD: one on the surface of the colon and the other one in the deep layers. This is my explanation of his answer.

This is really good news that xeljanz could control your rectal inflammation. Hope Rinvoq would do that.
