Within a couple days of raising my prednisone dosage to 30mg I stopped have diarrhea. In fact I haven't had a BM at all. I can't get a hold of my doctor until Monday. Just wondering if this is normal and what I should do? It's kind of nice not having the diarrhea after two months of suffering, but I know I need to go eventually.

After first going on 4x Lialda I remember feeling bloated and I didn't go for a couple days. But then I started having regular stools again. I was a little nervous at first since I went from a lot of D to nothing at all, but it all corrected itself.

That was all in January when I was diagnosed. Unfortunately I'm back in a bad flare right now and Lialda and 30mg of Prednisone aren't helping. My doctor prescribed Humira and I start it next Thursday. I'm hoping for some relief from that.
