Hi Sophia,
Yes, like Jim I think that you should cut back on your dosage. Even if the lower dose is insufficient you still need time for your gut to settle. Longer term you need to be reducing your disease. If you can get your disease right down with DMF it is generally the case that you will be able to maintain yourself on a lower dosage. One member, William Mateychuck, maintains his clearance with a single 120 mg dose every third day.
While I have the belief that with DMF you have to hit the disease hard and fast, you still have to maintain your health and quality of life. Think of a dose reduction as a tactical retreat. I have no hesitation in missing the odd dose if I dont feel up to it.
Cheers,
Bill
