Hello everyone. Hoping to get some help with some questions in this forum. Dx with crohns throughout entire GI tract about 3 yrs ago. Most painful awful thing I've gone thru. Hospitalized 3 times since December and am desperately wanting to know successful drugs that have helped others. Tried 6 mp and remicade,had allergic reaction to remicade, now need to find another medication that may work. Need to get better and get back to work as I have a family. Also dx with celiac disease 10yrs ago and wondering how many of you were diagnosed with celiac prior to crohns. Any input would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome to the forum, I am sorry to hear that you are not doing so well at the moment 
One thing it may be worth asking your doc about is the 'sister' meds to what you have already been on - azathioprine for 6mp or humira for the remicade - to get more info on these and others meds than get used definetly have a nosy around our treatment forum http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16. When are you due to see your doc to discuss things?
I hope you can be feeling better soon, please keep us updated on how you are getting on.

Hey rh and welcome to the forum I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble getting in remission though
Angrybird above pointed you in the right direction. I'd take a hard look at utilizing enteral nutrition in addition to your other treatment options if you feel you could stick with it.
Are you off the 6-MP now? If not, what dose are you on?
Again, welcome!
