So, Greengirl,

What is your favorite soup recipe? Maybe it should be posted on the recipe forum? Care to share?

Pat

Greengirl

So happy to see that you have joined our cyber family - and a family it really is - but sorry for the reasons you are here.

I am an entocort user and also GF and have been GF for over 7 years and it has made a huge difference for me. On Entocort since July and for me it is a lifesaver. No other supplemental meds with it but do take Lipitor and heart medications and they seem not to interfere.

Please feel free to ask anything - nothing is off limits in this family.

Maggie

Hi again greengirl!

Just a suggestion that I found helpful. I have nothing against herbal supplements, but the problem is you don't know what's really in them or whether your sensitive gut can tolerate them. I found it best to eliminate all of them until my gut healed.

Take care,

Polly

Pat - sure I'll share some soup recipes, however they aren't gluten free, is that okay? (I'll post them later, I'm going shopping in a bit).

Maggie - thank you for the welcome and sharing your experience on Entocort. It gives me hope that this will work for me.

Polly - I won't take any supplements without checking with my GI doc first. I am lucky in so much as my GI doc is German, and very knowledgable about herbal supplements - he said part of his schooling was done at a school for alternative medicine. (which I found very exciting, as I am not found of big Pharma...) I am planning on calling his nurse in the AM - just because four nights in a row now with less than 5 hours of sleep is starting to wear on me.

Thanks again everyone!
