Hello
I have recently entered a fairly bad (by my standards) flare up, as a result of being prescribed VSL#3 when in a mild flare up.
Now, I have been prescribed 6 mp, which I have been taking for a week, however as I have been advised, it can take weeks/months before you see significant improvement from this.
It so happens that I have a supply of Prednisolone foam enema (14 days worth to be exact) still in the house. I have used Prednisolone in a previous flare, and it does get rid of all flare up symptoms after a week or so, but when I stop taking it, the symptoms gradually return. However I am going away in a few weeks, before any results should be expected from the 6mp, and I know the Prednisolone should improve things before I go away.
So, the question I have is,is it safe to take both the 6mp and the Prednisolone at the same time, or are there dire consequences, and side effects likely.
I may well raise it with my GI doc, although I don't think he'd be in favour of it, regardless of any potential negative side effects. But I wanted to raise it here, in case anyone has done this, and knows it should be safe enough, or indeed, the opposite as well.
