Hi, I Am A 79 Year Old Female, I Had

Hi, I am a 79 year old female, I had Bilroth11 surgery in 2004,was diagnosed with Crohns disease in 2008, my GI put me on Entocort 2 3gm capsules in am. It seemed to work, I gained weight, felt better, etc. In 2013 we moved to Fl. At that time my Doctor was trying to get me on another medication Asacol and some chemo drug, I had allergic reactions to both. I'm no longer on the entocort because I've developed large red splotches I was told they were caused by the Entocort. My right leg from the knee down is especially bad, I also have splotches that show up on both arms, some on my chest. They aren't bruises, start out dark like a bruise, turn red then fade away, it is an ongoing process they keep coming and going. I have also lost a lot of weight when we came down here. In 2013 I weighed 103 lbs. I now weigh 66 to 68 lbs. No matter how much I eat I can't get to the magic 70 lbs. My stomach will not tolerate ensure or boost, I have the dumping syndrome. I've been to two GI's locally (Winter Haven) and a GI at Cleveland Clinic, so far I haven't found anyone who has a diagnosis or a reason for all this, I would appreciate any suggestions you could give me. Thank you, Carolyn Troyer
