I have been on steroids for a year and a half off and on. It seems after a month or two of getting off the blood starts again. I just started Lialda a few weeks ago. Anyways I was off of steroids for...
Okay thank you. The thing about lialda was that I was hoping my UC would just go away with fecal transplants - but it didn't. Until I was 100 percent sure that they wouldn't work , I decided to wait...
