"D" again - How do I get back to where I was?

[ldubois7]

I once started a thread about how Entocort can be very deceptive. It gives the illusion of remission, but we don't find out until a few weeks after we're off of it that we still haven't resolved our MC. Some can determine their intolerances very quickly, some don't have many intolerances, others need to take a long time to determine them or order additional testing. We're all different, but we can always learn from each other's experiences. I hope you are able to get some control soon.

So very true! :)

So very true about Entocort, my MC symptoms came back after I was off the prescription meds (Entocort & Asacol). It was only after I made major diet changes that I was able to find the best relief from the symptoms. My Entrolab results did not show a high reaction to many foods, however, I had been on Entocort for 5 months before the test so it may have given me false results. Now that I am following a mostly Paleo diet, of foods that I know are tolerated, I have had better results than when I was on medication.

Awesome post Gloria.

Thanks for sharing your insight. IMO, you're right on target — that's an excellent description of how Entocort suppresses our perception of symptoms, to give a false sense of healing. And you've included a great summary of how to use Entocort and how to properly withdraw from using it.
