Entocort - I am weaning too!

Post by MaggieRedwings »

Morning All,

Took myself down to 3mg (1 capsule) per day and started that on Sunday. So far so good but by the time I see the gastro doc in early September I will still be on 1 capsule and not on zero as he would like. I am going to take this at my pace and not rush things.

Will keep you posted.

Love, Maggie
Maggie Scarpone

I hope things continue as well as they are going now, Maggie, and I would definitely wait until I felt comfortable about it before eliminating the Entocort.

Love, Shirley

Morning Maggie,

I agree - your way is the best way, and I wish you the best of luck with the plan.

Love,
Tex

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.

Good Luck....I think we know how we react to things sometimes better than the doctors do, and I am not bashing doctors. It's just fact. Hope all works well Love Oma :grin:

Keep us posted. I'm still on 6 mg/day, will be reducing to 3 mg/day after Thanksgiving. I don't want to push it until after the turkey dinner. Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us.
