MICROSCOPIC COLITIS SUPPORT

I have been existing on meat and veggies: cruciferous, carrots, and yams. While i was on prenisone, my symptoms decreased. At first I handled the loss of prednisone well--still on budesonide--but symptoms are increasing and explosive D is getting more common, especially at night. I am exhausted ...
