Dare I say it??

I think I'm in remission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the bout of food poisoning, things got "loose" again.  Not so much that I felt nervous about being away from a bathroom because the urgency wasn't bad, but I was having diarrhea about 4-6 times a day.  Anyway, I don't know if it was because I started eating avocadoes again, or because it just took that long for my colon to heal after the food poisoning (I'm convinced it takes our colons longer to "get over" something like that) but I've had 1-3 completley formed, completely non-urgent BMs since Thursday!  It's silly how proud I feel!

I see my GI again on June 4th, but I'm considering trying to start tapering the Rowasa before my appointment.  He's on vacation right now, so I can't call and get his opinion over the phone.  Thoughts from those with experience would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest you stay on the rowasa nightly for a week after you're feeling "normal"....then only taper to every second night for about a month.

My suggestion...you can taper quickly...but you may be back to nightly soon enough.

I had an extremely mild flare last Christmas, but tapered too fast and ended up back to square one...I'm now on every third night for this month....

Your body will tellyou what you need anyway....
As long as you have the prescription refills for Rowasa...do what you need to do.

Glad you feel well.

Wohoo! Great News to hear!

Yay! And thanks so much for YOUR support of me these past few weeks and months.

So, how is the new job plan coming together??

Thanks, everyone! :)
I hope that those of you who aren't in remission get there quickly!
