I am new to this site. Was diagnosed with Crohns 23 years ago, had resection 18 years ago and am having only my second flare up since surgery. My last coloscopy, six years ago, showed a few inches of small intestine with some redness and ulcers. Currently, I am losing weight, have no appetite, tons of anxiety, uveititis. I am taking Budesinide which seems to be helping but not completely doing the trick. The doctor sent me for a CT Enterography and I am waiting for the results. My questions are these -- 1) do you think it's possible the scan will reveal abnormalitites with organs; very worried about this! 2) what medical options are available if the Budesinide does not get me back into remission? 3) I am scheduled to go overseas with my family (four children0 for three weeks next Tuesday. I want to go but am nervous about being so far from home for such a long period of time.
