Hi! New poster but not so new to CD. I've been diagnosed for 10 years, fortunate to be in good health the last 3 years but now I've been flaring since last September. I see my GI again this Wed. so I'm hoping to get some opinions so I can help "steer" him down the right path. =) I started on prednisone at Thanksgiving and just finished it. It helped at first but I don't want to retry it right now. Better to just get off that med. I do currently take Humira and Asacol. My biggest problem right now is just excessive mucus! I really think if I could get that under control, things would be a lot better. I bet 90% of my bathroom trips are just to pass mucus but it happens every hour or so! Your coworkers really start to notice when you go that often!! My CD is mostly at the end and perianal. Does anyone think Flagyl might help me? I was also going to request that we try a rectal med? Any suggestions? I am concerned about the ability to "hold in" a rectal med.
Thanks for your help!
