Thank you for a very interesting video. I have a diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis and I have been a patient of Mr Parkes. Thankfully I have never needed biologics and my treatment of two NSAIDs per day has helped me stay in remission for the last nine years. I have also been eating a whole food plant based diet during this time which may also have been of benefit. On a side note the editing team may want to correct the few mistakes made in the subtitles (receive is spelt incorrectly as is management and regimen should be substituted for regiment).
Hello Helen, I too have UC and my Dr. has asked me to take Entyvio . I am trying to find all the info I can on it before I try it . I came across you comment and Im wondering about the meds you mentioned is NSAIDS an anti inflammatory medication like Advil ?
@@carolmatousek2191 Hello there Carol. I don't know what Advil is but I am happy to give you the details of the medication I take. The full title is Mezavant XL 1200mg, gastro resistant, prolonged release tablets and the active ingredient is mesalazine. I understand that the normal dose is four tablets a day but my doctor told me that research showed that two tablets were just as effective so I just take two. Since 2013 this is the only UC medication I take and I haven't experienced any problems or side effects I have also been symptom free the whole time. I hope this is helpful to you and I wish you well.

How did he do ? I’m starting next week and I’m so nervous 😬
@@ablair33556 it's been fab for me. The guy in the video is my consultant and I see the nurse (I think she's a ward manager actually) every 8 weeks.
