New medicine for CD?

Since I've tried every medicine and nothing has put me into remission for very long, my doctor at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville is seeking approval for a "new med" recently having promising results with CD patients. All I know is it comes in a pill form (which made me happy) and I think it starts with the letter "V". It may have been used previously for patients with psoriasis. Does anyone know of this drug?

    1. I don't know the drug you are speaking of, unless it is the probiotic VSL-3. Regardless, try to do research on any drug before taking it and definitely review all possible side effects with your doctor first.

      Hope you feel better. Happy Holidays!

      Best,
