Have you tried Remicade? It's worked wonders for my arthritis. You have to get off the prednisone...

I've tried just about everything, and the only thing that actually subdues the symptoms of the crohns is the prednisone. Even though I'm aware of the terrible things that it's doing to me. I've tried pretty much everything, including entocort and remicade. I went through the 4 treatments, and was only able to get down to 5mg a day before I had a relapse. My normal dose is between 20mg and 30mg / day of prednisone.

Mark, I FReepmailed you, but I forgot to mention that with the SCD, you may be able to get off the prednisone entirely.

I'm very sorry to hear that. That's a pretty high dosage. Am I correct in understanding that you were down to 5mg/day prednisone while on Remicade? If so, why not continue with Remicade?

Have you tried all of the diets?
