Hey everyone so im still stuck on 20mg of pred after going down to 15mg i was getting pain back after eating so my doctor put me back onto 20mg which i felt a little bit better on again but now the diareah has started to creep back again more frequently and the appearance i no it sounds horrible but like play doh when its rolled out like a snake, and its very loose. Im also getting pain back in the belly button not as bad but its noticable and tiredness and headaches back. Im on pentasa 500mg x6 a day im wondering if thats alot? Im due to see my GI wednesday to see what they say, grrrrrrrrrr this is so annoying, also my temper is so bad lately ive been really getting moody and snapping at everyone

I used to be on 8x500mg of pentasa when i was 1st diagnosed, I was then put on azathiprine and the penasa was brought down to 4x500mg. The aza helped a lot. Currently im on aza and Asacol (same as pentasa, but these are 800mg tablets 3 times a day).

If you have a lot of diarrea and headaches it may be worth noting how much water you are drinking. I find with crohns im needing to drink about twice as much as i used to, ive also stopped drinking tea and coffee as that made me worse

Hopefully the GI will be able to help you
