Hi Susie, I also want to offer you encouragement and hugs. I have had MC for about 20 years and it was only after reading Tex's book that I realized that there was hope of getting better. I was on Entocort for a year, but started getting very bad cramps and went off. I have been Gluten, dairy, nut, ...
