Hey, I’m treated with entyvio. As I was told, entyvio is a biological selective drug. The word selective means that it affects only the cells in the bowels and not at the rest of the body, which I guess is a good thing. As for the side effects, my doctor told me I can suffer from headaches, cold and joints pain - these are the most common. For now, I sometimes suffer from strong headaches, but I’m still taking the drug

I am literally in the exact same boat-- 2021 put me into a huge flare and my doctors are now prescribing Entyvio. Would love to hear experiences with this medication, and any holistic paths people have taken to help.

Hi! I know this is super late. I’ve never taken Entyvio but I have been taking Mesalamine and Budesonide. For a while I was only on Mesalamine but they added Budesonide again after the stresses of 2020. I also changed my diet but has been on and off. I honestly recommend trying either VSL #3 or Visbiome probiotics. (Visbiome I think is cheaper). They’ve honestly helped me a lot! After a month of taking them I was back in remission for a while (until I stopped taking them since 2020 hit and I wasn’t working as much so it got expensive). But both worked amazingly for me. You can use either one.

Sadly noo Entyvio didn’t do it for me, and neither did Remicade, or Stelara. Currently trying Xeljanz as a last hope to keep my intestine. Good luck

After several months on Entyvio and Mesalamine my symptoms are definitely reduced. Some bloating when I eat but I really can’t imagine reducing my limited diet even more 😥 I’ve been extremely tired, joint pains and mood swings which I thought were symptoms of prednisone withdrawal and then COVID. Now I’m thinking it might be the Entyvio. So unmotivated to eat better and exercise which I’m sure would help 😔

I have had success with Visbiome probiotics though! Kind of scared to stop taking them. Pretty traumatized from the c diff experience 😐
