I have tried LDN, but only for a couple of weeks, twice...each time I tried I got the start of a flare. Coincidence, perhaps, but I am a little afraid to try it again. I have the prescription. My understanding is that it may take a couple of months to start working - is that right? I have been on Prednisone at a higher dosage...I am tapering right now from a 40 mg dose and was on a 60 mg taper last year. Yesterday I had stomache paisn - I was thinking, "oh no - now whats wrong?" Is the disease progressing even more now? Into my upper intestine? Do others get stomache gurgles and pains when they only have UC or is that a sure sign of chrones/colitis? Today was more successful than yesterday - I had five visits to the loo with D and B...today, only two small ones but D and B in both...no stomach pains -

I am hoping I just ate something that was too advanced for me and I am having a mild falre. As far as elimination - I really don't eat much to begine with...I eat beef patties, buffalo, dry white fish grilled mahi mahi and alittle steelhead) and pecorino romano cheese and weakened coffee, well cooked zuchinni and well good grean beans and salt..all of which seemed to be tolerated today pretty well as I saw a reduction in the bms...perhaps regualr beef or the dubliner cheddar causes probelms? I also eat occasionally bacon and bananna...but perhaps I will stick with what I ate today for the next few days and see where that gets me. I had some bok choy in a stir fry and a little too much wine over the weekend last weekend and that is when things started - oh please oh please just be a temporary thing - I want to get off this Prednisone soooo bad and be doing better again. I miss raw fruit and vegetables
