We've been so busy chatting about the new board, we hadn't kept up to date on how you are doing. Have you successfully made the transition back to Asacol?
Or maybe we have discussed it, and I've been too busy to realize it.
Anyway, hope you are well.

Wayne's been playing with smilies again....last night that was a brown haired, pigtailed girl!
I weaned off the Entocort over two weeks ago and for the last week only took 3 mgs in total. I tried reinstating the Asacol but it just wasn't "doing" it for me like it did before, in fact it seemed to be making me somewhat queasy (it didn't do that at all when I first took it). I am now on nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch. Norman is here and haven't seen a loosey-goosey in a coon's age. I'm only watching my diet insofar as avoiding cauliflower, broccoli, broccoflower (yes, there is such a thing!), and beans. I don't eat a lot of gluten (never have) but don't purposely avoid it either.
I didn't want to fess up until I'd tested this for a while, but I guess I can safely say I'm in remission! Was it the Entocort that did it? Very possibly.
Okay - running out of time - it's not raining so am going to peddle me butt to work and hopefully I don't - will check in in a bit.
Yea Peggy...that is the best news I have heard in a long time! Yippee! I need to make my yearly appointment with my GI...I have been on a maintenance dosage of Entocort for a year now. I wonder what he will do? The Entocort works so well, I can eat anything and I don't feel like I have CC. I don't want to go back to the way I was before....I sure hope he keeps me on the drug. Have a good day kiddo....JJ
You had me worried for a while there, 'cause I remember seeing your post last night, and I noticed the change in the smiley, also. I thought for sure our smilies had been "hacked", but on checking it out, I found that both those smilies had the same code, and apparently when I removed a "judge" smiley last night, and added the new ones, that kicked the second "girl" smiley farther up the priority ladder. Anyway, I renamed the one with the bow in her hair to "girl 2", so hopefully everything is back in order. Weird things happen sometimes, but there's always an explanation, if we can find it.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
Remission, Peg - WOW!! And that's w/o meds too - congratulations on feeling good and thumbs up for you that you are using your bike to transport you to work. Will keep you strong just like PiPPi Longstocking is supposed to be.

Happy to hear you doing well with no meds! AWESOME!

coon's age:
Also, a dog's age. A very long time, as in I haven't seen Sam in a coon's age, or It's been a dog's age since I went to the ballpark. The first phrase rests on the mistaken idea that raccoons (“coons”) live a long time. The variant may reflect a similar assumption but the true origin is not known. [c. 1835]
