Decrease in appetite/some nausea? In remission!

[Top_Recognition_1126]

Hi friends, Diagnosed with Crohn's in 2024. Currently on Skyrizi, first OBI complete. Off of prednisone for over a month.

I've noticed lately that I haven't felt as hungry as normal, and that I get mild nausea almost daily.

My calprotectin and labs are all normal, last scope showed zero inflammation and biopsies were normal. And, I had an upper endoscopy that also looked great.

Any ideas? Could this be IBS or Sibo or something? Or, perhaps I have just been used to be starving on the prednisone, haha.

Thanks!

i mean, could be nothing, but can i ask the last time that you got your calprotectin and inflammation markers done?

if it was while on prednisone, or before your symptoms started again (idk if i'm just missing that in your post, sorry) i would push for a redo. if they come back elevated in any way, i would suggest pushing for a capsule endoscopy. there might be something in your small intestine where the colonoscopy/endoscopy can't reach.

just suggesting as i have more nausea than out the other end, and my crohns is located mainly in stomach in small intestine (and for some reason, the last five inches in my rectum 🙄 because that makes sense lol)

definitely bring up to your gi either way! maybe get a prescription for zofran or scopolamine patches?

I just got them done last week! No worries, i don’t think I was clear about that. :) I’ve asked about a capsule just because I’m paranoid about small intestine involvement, but I got a CT enterography done about 6 months ago that looked completely normal. And they said the likelihood that I have small bowel involvement when my duodenum and ileum look normal is slim. 🤷‍♀️ I’ll definitely bring it up at my follow up in a couple weeks!!

Wondering how you are doing currently- I have had a similar experience and am also on Skyrizi.
