Cautiously Optimistic!

Hi All,

I just wanted to give you an update to let you know that things seem to be going in the right direction! Following a flare that I just couldn't seem to get under control, I went back to a very basic diet and followed the Pepto regime for about a week. After a week with Pepto, I was feeling some side effects and stopped taking it (while continuing with a Step 1 diet). It's now been a week since I stopped the Pepto and my GI symptoms seem mostly resolved (if anything I seem to have a little C now instead of D). I'm continuing to take things slowly and will add some of my go-to foods back into my diet one at a time.
I want to thank you for your suggestions and kindness ~ this board offers so much support and is truly invaluable to anyone who deals with MC.

Best wishes ~
Pam
