	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?

	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? ^{@--->--SHERRY--<---@} ^{Left sided Uc -'92 - Colazal, Canasa, 6mp, Prilosec, Biotin, Forvia} ^{Secondary Reynauds Syndrome - '04 - Norvasc} ^{Fibromyalgia - '06} ^{PLEASE HELP HEALINGWELL CONTINUE TO HELP OTHERS BY CLICKING HERE: DONATE} ^{@--->--Moderator for Allergies/Asthma and Co-moderator for UC--<---@} http://www.myspace.com/82595818 Back to Top

	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 Back to Top
