I just got a call from my GI office that my blood work showed inflammation. I have had Crohn’s disease for 12 years. I haven’t had a flare up in 7 years until just recently. I am taking azathioprine and they upped my dose, they also want me to start taking Entocort. I do not want to take Entocort, because I do not want to gain weight but most importantly I do not want a huge face or acne. Can crohns inflammation be healed without a steroid? Thank you
