Thank you for the info KS...
I am sorry, I am not used to this new format. I used to be able to tell easily if someone replied to me. I didn't experience any benefit from DHEA. Perhaps due to my age, 25 mg was to much....
Gotcha. My GI was puzzled I had so many symptoms with my more mild inflammation on the scope I had last year, so I thought it went both ways....
Thanks. Will be discussing options in two weeks....
The Entyvio connect is so good that they covered almost everything for out of network filing. It bills like secondary insurance on mine....
I have always gotten a 3 to 7 day stir up of symptoms when dropping Pred doses. I worried a whole lot about it until I learned it would pass....
I am going to go to the appointment in two weeks and see what he has to say. There is an IBD center 2 hours away that I have wondered about, but that would be incredibly inconvenient. If I was...

You might ask your doctor for an anti spasmodic. Helps a lot with the aftershocks....
The bad episodes I have are definitely before, during, and after. I have dicyclomin, and have taken it only sometimes. I have a hiatal hernia, and GERD, and I had been reluctant to take the anti...
