Umm....welcome to the club?!?! I was diagnosed with MP in 2014 after a bad fall on black ice. After being put on Prednisone for 6 months (that medication has it's own evils!), I went into remission until August 2017. Since August, I have been on Prednisone and Azathioprine (to settle my immune system down) and tamoxifen. I have definitely been battling to get back to remission, but it has been a tough road. Are you feeling any symptoms?

Well, I don't know what diet you are on, so I can not comment. Personally, I limit carbs and spicy food and I seldom eat out, so fast food is almost non existent for me. I'm not sure that my diet makes any difference, except for maybe tolerating the Prednisone. I hope this helps!

I also have just been diagnosed with MP through a CAT scan. My doctor knows very little, being referred to a gastroligist I have pain every morning between 3 and 5 am on the right side stomach very low. When I have my morning bowel movement
The pain or discomfort is gone until next morning...my stools are thinner but a good colour and I have no other symptoms. Can anybody tell me where else I can get information about this. Don’t know where I put my name but it is nancy. Hope someone can help me....
