Hello,
Thanks for providing the additional information.
The most likely cause for his symptoms is Crohn's disease.
The medication Pentasa which has been prescribed is meant for treating Crohn's disease only.
But I feel some of the tests have not been done properly. I would advise you to get a repeat upper GI endoscopy done for him. The lesion in the stomach has not been evaluated properly. In addition to that a CT scan of the abdomen ( a CT enterolysis) may also be done to examine the small bowel.
You can consult your gastroenterologist for these tests and further management.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.

Could you please put it in medical report and to be more specific with the details, many thanks dr.
