Hi
I take prednisilone as and when required. Aloe vera and slippery elm . I definately find that stress aggrevates my crohns big time. I try and eat healthily but often I am "well" when I've eaten rubbish! Don't know how that works.
So glad you've been able to keep things under control with occassional pred and the aloe and elm! I'm sure you'll be able to find someone else from Derbyshire around here!!
