I'm coming out of a flare, havent had blood in over a week and even that week there was hardly any but I can NOT get rid of the diareah and loose stools! Any suggestions? Could it be the predmisone? Im down to 20m.

Yes it can be the pred reduction. I know I've read that people who start lowering their doses that they get a temporary increase of symptoms. Two things that I know can help with D is using Rowasa until you get off the pred. Also you can try a fiber supplement to increase the bulk of your stool. Have you ever tried Rowasa? Are you able to tolerate them?

Supplementation with l-glutamine is also highly recommended for healing the gut and getting diarrhea under control. It's a tasteless white powder... you can find it at health food stores, GNC, places that sell body building supplements.

Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis spring 1999

Possibly misdiagnosed

Maintenance dose sulfasalazine

Probiotics, l-glutamine and fish oil caps
