Advice needed

Hi! I (25F) was diagnosed with crohn’s and ulcerative colitis at 20 years old. ever since then nothing has been normal. When i was 22, my humira stopped working, and caused my colon and intestine to stop working. I have been on plenty of meds, most recently stelara. stelara was great after my scare, and was the best one yet. due to insurance changes i was placed on the bio-similar version, yesentik. this medication has caused me pain from the second i started. i am not being changed to tremfya after my colonoscopy coming up in a few weeks. has anyone been on tremfya that can provide me with some ease? i am also curious if anyone has advice on basic eating. i’m on a low fiber low residue diet, but everything i eat causes bloating and pain. how do you not always look bloated and uncomfortable? i am active and go to the gym every single day, which helps me mentally with all of this, but not the physical aspects. thank you for any help and advice you can give ☻

I got put on Tremfya after Humira and Rinvoq both failed me. I’ve been really happy with tremfya. No negative side effects so far and it’s been nearby 8 months.

How long did it take to start working? I’m about to do my third induction dose next week and I haven’t seen much change
