Like Canada Mark, I have not eaten beans in two years. I am symptomatic with 8-9 BMs a day some with mucous. I'm nervous about anything that might send me to the bathroom more. I KNOW soystud: Just...
Yeah! Thanks aguywithuc. I did get a chuckle from soystud. And heaven only knows all chuckles are appreciated. I am off to research Resistant Starch. :smilewinkgrin: Gracias to all!...
Pred tapers can cause a bump in the road. I find that I can ride them out after three or four days, but I tape much slower. So give your gut a chance to adjust to the new level of steroid and...
Serenity Now How do I find aguywithuc? I am not sure how to do a forum search for resistant starch. I see chronic illnesses listed, but not miscellaneous topics. Where do I look? :idea: :idea:...

Thanks for the insights. I am tapering the pred 1.5 mg every two weeks. So, this could be a long road. Possibly as I lower the pred, the speedy feeling will diminish. I have never heard of Uceris....
