I haven't had a major flare up in years and in the past have controlled my MC through diet (GF, DF). A couple days ago it started in a MAJOR way. I'm switching GI's and can't get in for a month. I have 4 kids and on/off meetings all day for work - my energy level is near zero and my symptoms are out of control.
HELP :) :) THANK YOU!

Hi D.
Sorry to hear. I went through your situation last summer. Some things to try:
1. Try the antihistamines....Benadryl or claritin. Try one for 4-5 days if that does not work switch to the other for 4-5 days. Sometimes the antihistamine will kick me out of a flare pretty quickly.
2. Consider eliminate all oral supplements for awhile. (counterintuitive I know) Patch MD sells vitamin patches that some use.
3. Consider protein and broth for a couple of days.
When I go to protein and broth only and eliminate oral supplements that will generally kick me into "soft serve."
