Infusions

I was diagnosed during COVID due to a obstruction and I've spent years trying to get in for treatment and I've got mild to moderate crohns and they want me to start infusions but Insurance denied and I'm torn between continuing or just adjusting my diet for now? Are the infusions worth trying? I've been slightly

  1. Hi . Your frustration with trying to get treatment is certainly understandable. When it comes to the treatments I need to note that what works for one may not for another and finding the right one can take time. I do want to share with you this article from Vern giving his take on biologics: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/living/biologics-for-perianal-crohns. You mention your Crohn's being labeled mild to moderate. Has your doctor offered any thoughts on trying to gain control through diet? Have other treatments been discussed? There are a number of options and this article gives an overview: https://inflammatoryboweldisease.net/treatment. Hopefully others will chime in with their thoughts. Best, Richard (Team Member)
