Back on Entocort

Post by Becky »

O.k. here's a review - Diagnosed MC in August, tried pepto, worked at first. Went on Entocort through March with great results. Weaned off it, all the sympotms came back. Went on Welchol (because I had my gallbladder out, the thought being I had to my bile being allowed in my system) I seemed to be improving for a couple of weeks but alASS, my symptoms came back. I started Entocort (9mgs.) just yesterday and already feel incredible! I know I still need to have the Enterolab testing, I think I'm in denial of what the long-term ramification of the findings would be. For today, I'm an Entocort fan! Hope you all know how much I appreciate this forum. Someday, my schedule will work out to join in the chat.

Hi Becky!
I was afraid for you that the Welchol would only work temporarily!
I remember being prescribed Questran and it started out working and forming the stool, then, bingo, my symptoms returned.
Happy to hear that the Entocort is working for you.

Love
Dee~~~
