Lately I've been thinking to go on a low dose of steroids just to get these symptoms under control until I get married and come back from my honeymoon ... its in 4 weeks!

I don't have major issues just the daily nausea, loss of appetite, loose stools (not completely dihharea)

I wanna get this under control, my last dose was at 25mg and that took a while to make me better but i was much worse back then so a low dose of 10 or 15 won't do much i assume?

Any suggestions?

Congrats! Why don't you talk to your doctor about this? S/he would give you a better opinion based on your condition. I had a problem of getting entocort and had the same thoughts as you did but my GI refused and told me to try all possible ways to get entocort.
Good luck :)

I've never had entocort but from what I understand it's basically the same just with less side effects??

Yes. But I felt better on it than I did on pred.
Definitely, you can try it if you want. As I suggested, talk to your doctor.
