I have had Crohn's disease for 14 years. I have been given multiple different meds over the years. Prednisone, mesalamine, sulfasalazine, and finally Imuran. I have been on 200mg of Imuran for over 4 years with no side effects. I had half of my colon removed 3 years ago due to scar tissue causing stricture.

I have had ulcerative colitus for 20 years, but now my doctor says I have Crohns disease,which is active. So I went off of my Asocol and he put me on Entocort and Azathioprine.After one week I started having bad pains in my stomach area and back.The doctor took blood and now I have Pancreaitus.This is some bad stuff!So be very careful with it.
