Guest guest Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Alyssa,I didn't know it was all the way through, I thought only left sided. Was it always all the way through or did it spread? The few people I know on Imuran, which is almost the same, took a while to see results. Solid BM's are a welcome change I bet! It's the little things we get excited about.... like today I thought of something.You know you have UC when you're excited because you can use the bathroom spray since it smelled like something other than blood and mucus! I got excited today because it was actually stinky! I think i'm crazy...-UC - 1+ yearsSCD - 11 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Colazol - 9 pills a day Prednisone 25mg entocort With vit E mixed inBack to intro/stage 1 for now.To: BTVC-SCD From: luckycharms@...Date: Sat, 15 May 2010 15:55:49 -0400Subject: Re: How am I going to stay SCD while traveling all the time? Thanks for the reply Alyssa, Did you have to up the dose of the pred and azathioprine? I thought you were on 20 and 50 before. Pred I never got below 25, and had to go back up to 30, Azathioprine I was on 50, but apparently the amount circulating in my blood wasn't in the target range so I had to up that to 75. Hopefully that will kick in soon so I can get off the steroids, but for the moment I'm having solid BMs at least =)Have you tried entocort enemas? I really wanted to, but my GI said it would only help the end portion of my colon and I was inflamed all the way through. So blech.
