I would just like to second the opinion for trying Imuran (Azathioprine) for another option. I've been on it for years without any side effects really. My blood work has been perfectly normal. I know...
I agree. The doc I had a consult with at cedars knew his stuff. He does original research there. His recommendation was super simple too, he told my doc to up my imuran. It really worked: of course...
I wish I had tried mutaflor before they banned it! At least my insurance covers Vsl#3. I wonder if a competitor has a pal in the FDA. Aren't supplements usually banned only after bad side effects?...
