Yesterday was the first time I expereinced it, and it only happend in the afternoon, so maybe an hour or so, but I have noticed it slightly today, not as bad, but still just random moments of it. The bentyl does make sense.
As far as eating goes, no problem there. I always track my cals, and was shooting for 2700-3000 cals, at least that was what I was doing when I was working out a lot and doing P90X, but since this flare, I've cut the workouts back some, and also lowered my cals, so usually get in the 2200-2400 range, been doing that for 2 weeks. That may be a factor as well. Ya I know it sounds like a lot, but I've learned that in order to lose weight and be healthy you need to eat a lot of good food, so I've learned this is what my body needs, so no worries on how much food I am getting :).
Thanks quincy, always appreciate your input. The dropping of the pred has definittly shown that I am not out of this. At 40 mg I was feeling unstoppable, but with each taper, I notice more stuff. Still not to the level I was before, and no blood, well the occasinal small amount on tp every few days, but just small things. Hoping that the constant diet changes, and meds will get it under control, without the need of increasing the pred again.
