Malik, MC is a form of inflammatory bowel disease. The treatment is going to take time so you're going to have to be patient. Hopefully your current medication will tamp down the inflammatory pattern and you'll be able to cut back on what you're taking.

You may also want to look into the possible link between dairy or gluten and MC problems since dietary changes might help.
