When you mentioned that you took 5 lbs. Was this 5 lbs of weight gain? In my particular case the salofalk also didn't work so was put on 50 mg of Predsnisone a day. Were you taking this at all? I'd like to stop taking this horrible drug, but apparently you have to taper the dosages. Will this fecal injection work while I'm on cortisone. BTW the cortisone doesn't seem to be doing much good. Thanks
