Is salofalk medication safe to use during pregnancy? i'm trying for a baby and wondering whether i should stop taking it? ibd diagnosis is very mild?

Have your gastroenterologist speak with & collaborate with your potential OB about this to get an OK. There's no evidence that that medication would harm the baby, but if you can get by without it, it might be advisable to do so. On the other hand, your 2 MD's want no problems with IBD during your pregnancy as they want you in good shape throughout your pregnancy.
