Hi and welcome to HCM,
You can continue the same medicine what your doctor prescribed, Entocort can give you better response. In addition you make some diet changes which will be helpful to improve your condition. Avoid fried foods, butter oils, dairy products, raw vegetables, caffeine. Avoid gas forming foods. Avoid alcohol. Track the food you eat. Nutritional intake plays a crucial role
in this disease.
Wish you speedy recovery
Thanks
