I have been down to 15mg of pred for 1 week now and have one week left until I cut to 10. But today I noticed that my stool is getting more loose than it was this last month. My doc has only put me on a pred taper and no maintenence meds. I do not have D but very soft. Could I be flaring? I still only go once a day.

Thanks

Are you having any other symptoms? Anything new in your diet?

To me, it either sounds like you still have inflammation and the loosening of the stools (sounds like a movie name or a band name, huh?) is a representation of flaring or general ill health of the intestinal lining. It also could be that something you are eating isn't agreeing with your intestines and is causing the loose stools.
