Pat,

Hope your doing better. I need to clarify something in an earlier post here- I said I took pred. for 3 months prior to using Entocort but took it for 2 months. My mistake, is worth mentioning for sure.

I'm more than optimistic as well Tex! Thanks for the reminder. We all just need to be proactive with MC.

Love,
Joanna

Thanks to you all for the words of encouragement.

I have now been on 40 mg Prednisone/day for a week. I am taking fewer and fewer Lomotil (was taking 8/day) and having stools that are becoming thicker. So I am encouraged! I have had this, MC, for over 8 years and know that it is going to take awhile. I will continue with the GF, DF, SF, FF diet and see what happens. I think it is important not to cheat at this time. Maybe when I start putting on weight I can try the Paleo diet again.

Thanks again!

Pat

P.S. I got my mom moved into assisted living yesterday. I think she likes it and it will be nice to have her closer to me.
