My wife has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and possibly ulcerative colitis. She is suffering pain and diarrhea for some time and needs some treatment. Our Doctor and local hospital are taking too long to recommend treatment. Is there anything she can take to ease her condition, please?
Thank you
Thank you
If she is experiencing a flare-up of her colitis, she may find relief using 5-ASA derivatives (Pentasa 4 g per day, which is expensive without a prescription covered by the public health system) orally if the flare-up is mild. However, if there is a more severe flare-up, she may need to take prednisone at a dose of 1 mg per kg of body weight. Nonetheless, it is important to keep in mind that it could be an infectious-type diarrhea that has nothing to do with inflammatory bowel disease.
