MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

Hi All,

I've been on Entocort now since mid August. GF/DF/SF since May. I went to 6 mg everyday in Oct. In Nov. I started 3 mg per day. Starting this week I take 3 mg. Entocort every other day. My BMs have been 90% normal...yeah! The other 10% is semi normal....but triggered if I eat something ...

Hi All,

Update....I've been on Entocort now for about 7 weeks. I've continued the GF/DF (GF for 5+ months / DF for about 4 months). The first 4 weeks I saw significant improvement. For the last 2 weeks or so it's gotten worse....not full fledged D, but loose, floaty, 3-5 / day. So I am thinking I ...

I have a couple of questions:

1. How long should I stay on Entocort? I have ...

Thanks for all of your great advice and support. This is a fabulous forum.

With regard to the Enterolab....do I need to be off Entercort before taking the tests?
Will the med skew the results?

Thank you all for the great advice and support. I am so appreciative that this forum exists.

Another question.....what are your thoughts on drinking Metamucil (Psyllium) to help control D?

I did order the book. Thank you!

Hi,
I was diagnosed with CC last week. I started Entocort 3 days ago. I started a Gluten free and Dairy Free diet about 2.5 months ago. I have a few questions:

1. How long will it take for the diarrhea to stop? It's still going strong.
2. From what I read in this forum, Should I take ALL 9mg of ...
