Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I hope this helps! I am sure someone can advise you on the Imuran :)I'm on azathioprine, which is the same as Imuran. While I don't like meds and would rather not be on them, they were necessary in my case and so far have been helping me over humps that the diet alone could not do. It's a personal decision, but keep in mind you can always go off meds later when you're more healed and then just stay on the diet for maintenance =) Cheers!Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Azathioprine 75 mg 1x per dayPrednisone 15 mg 1x per day (trying to wean!!!!)

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 I'm also on Imuran and my advice would be to go on it to get better now. The diet is a long term treatment, the medicine is short term until the diet alone can take over.
