Crohn's Disease, Maintenance
"I am a 25 year old female who was diagnosed with Crohn&#039;s almost 2 months ago. Pentasa has helped to relieve the very severe stomach cramping I was experiencing before my diagnosis. This is the first treatment my doctor has given me but after a month of taking 4-250mg capsules 4 times a day (in combination with Budesonide 9m) I finally feel comfortable after eating.  I&#039;m not noticing any side effects yet. Maybe I&#039;m lucky though after reading some of these other reviews. I wish I didn&#039;t have to take 16 of them each day, but to be able to stand up after a meal is wonderful for someone who used to keel over screaming and crying with a rock hard stomach after eating!"
