Hello everyone,
Diagnosed w/MC last July, health went downhill fast, down to 85 lbs and ended up w/PTSD...what a nightmare! I have been on 30mg Mirtazapine and 5mg Lexapro since January and that pulled me out of the PTSD. Mentally and emotionally am doing well, but had a flare a few weeks ago....trying to get it under control. I stopped all natural supplements (I was on a LOT) which helped, but stools still very soft w/occasional diarrhea. I am just taking D3, Magnesium Glycinate and Brain MD. Am sticking to a BRAT diet w/roasted chicken and well cooked carrots, squash, spinach, sweet potato and white rice. My gut likes these.

Been on Creon since last August and I tried weaning off of it slowly a few days ago. My gut said, "No!" I have an order for a fecal elastane test but I'm afraid to stop the Creon for 2 full days before the test for fear of dealing with a lot of diarrhea again. Has anyone experienced this?

My GI ordered Budesonide last summer but I never took it so it's still in my bathroom cabinet. I have read so many people's accounts of recovering quickly w/Budesonide but that the D returned once they stopped. Is this the general concensus here?

Thank yo for any comments, suggestions or opinions.
