There are periods of relapse and remession which keep happening in Crohns disease invariably wether a patient is on medicine. Get your CRP checked and if more pain than a contrast C.T abdomen is recommended. continue your doses of Pentasa. If symptoms are not coming down , then you may require a transient dose of Oral Corticosteroids
