I have IBD (UC) and my dr and I have been trying to get it under control. The only drug he is comfortable giving me is Prednisone. It worked the first time I took it but my symptoms came back when I was at 5mg. I am now back up to 40mg and things are not improving. What other drugs could we try while breastfeeding? He has mentioned Asacol orally and melasmine enemas but he is hesitant because of nursing. My symptoms are getting hard to deal with (lots of blood loss and frequent trips to the bathroom). My blood counts are fine but I need something to help get me into remission. I was diagnosed in the spring of 2010 and have only had 2-3 months in the past year without symptoms.
My baby is 17 months old and allergic to cow's milk. This is my main reason for still BFing. I know it is the best thing for him and we are not ready to stop. Any advice would be great!!!!???
