One week of good poops...am I turning the corner?

[fenway1971]

It's been one week of great pooping. First good ones since flare started last July.

On 20mg pred for a month so far after having tapered from 40 to 5 only to get whacked around xmas.

Fingers crossed! Hope I'm on my way back to remission!

BTW, has anyone read Omnivore's Dilemma? After reading it, I think corn is evil. Stopped soda two weeks ago. Wonder if that has helped me?

Sugar is evil. I eat it any way.

I don't drink soda unless it's diet though. THere's not a lot of caffeine free diet sodas out there.

The bubbly from soda can really get to you... so can the sugar (or the aspartame is diet drinks). Causes me gas and bloating.

You are suppose to stir your pop with a spoon to get all the bubblies out.
thats what causes the gas. No sipping threw a straw either...

Tammy -- when you stir it with a spoon, does it go flat or does it just get the bigger bubbles out?
