Well today I finally am off the Prednisone, I was on 5 MG for the last week. I've been on the Lialda now for maybe two weeks. I've had solid stools for about a week and no real pain to speak of, gut or joint. I just have a lot of gurgling from gas, but that's no big deal right? I go back to my new GI in a week to review things. I really feel like this flare is subsiding very well. Oh I still take my claritan, it worked before and the doc said it was fine if I wanted to.
I am taking 4 pills a day. What I read about the drug is that it's made to make it's way through your small bowel and then dissolve as it enters the large intestine. It really targets the large bowel. So with that in mind I take them first thing in the morning before I eat, so they can get to where they are going without interference from scrambled eggs and toast.
