I've been on entocort for five weeks and my BMs are normal.  I have tried contacting my doctor for over a week now to get an answer to the question: "Should I start weaning?"  I put in the first call to the doctor's office to ask this on June 13; today is June 20 and I still have not received a reply.  I intend to wean it on my own, but want to do so safely. I just need to know the weaning protocol. 

Thanks.

Good luck!
