Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Hi, My son has crohns has been on SCD since December 2005. He has been doing well and has been on pentasa, (got off prednisone in January 2006) since his diagnosis in November 2005. Since the beginning of June he has had 3 to 4 different flare ups that each last about a week or a week & a half. I am wondering if it was nectarines on one flare, and cherries on another. Or chlorine from going swimming. I just don't know. I am now cooking his fruit though. Yesterday he went to his doctor and he thought that was too many in such a short amount of time. Plus the areas where the crohns was found in my son's tummy were tender to the touch. The doctor has put him on 2 additional meds. Those are Zegerid and Entocort. The doctor wants to do another scope if he has another flare up this month. My question is, is anyone familiar with these meds? If so would you let me know? I am nervous and sad about new medicine and about his flares. Any information would be great. Thanks for all your help! Belle --------------------------------- How low will we go? Check out Yahoo!
