NO!: You should NOT be taling METHADONE OR ANY OPIATE for your Crohn's disease. There are many new medications that can be tried and I assume you are seeing a Board Certified Gastroenterelogist with EXPERTISE in inflammatory bowel disease! Do you have a local Teaching Hospital, Medical School????? I hope this helps and wish you GOOD Luck!!!

Perhaps: yes it is a good choice; give it some time and see if it works well for your pain

Responses: The methadone is employed to manage your chronic pain, but there are other medications and approaches to manage underlying Crohn's, and might be worthwhile to get a second opinion from a gastroenterologist.
