Suggest Treatment For Inflammatory Arthritis

I would like your opinion. I am a 48 y/o wf with hx of Sjogren s Syndrome (SICCA) and inflammatory arthritis. Have had episodes of frequent bms, decreased appetite, abd cramps and copious amts of clear to white mucous in stools. First episode 2004 with neg colonoscopy and then again now. Current episode lasting 13-14 months, again neg scope, but weight loss of 25 lbs, no appetite, exhausted after episode of cramping /diarrhea. Any thoughts or suggestions?
