I was on steroids for some time and was scared to go further on immune suppresents, which will cause more harm in another way s. so I tried controlling diet which worked . Thanks to googling and many posts by people and some research papers written by some doctors which actually gave me an idea of doubting food as the cause. Still I get mouth ulcers ocassionally becoz lectins, salicylates r there in almost 80% of foods, but cooking properly helps in eating some of them. No tea , no coffee, no nuts , no raw veges and fruits, no eating processed food and no eating out side home , eating only home cooked food prepared by me . It is difficult to live this way but felt more worth than pain and suffering and harmful meds . hope there is more research to give more relief for people around to come out of this.

Adding chemotherapy drug like cytoxan addition to Azothioprine (Imuran) should help. Or ask if you can switch to if Rituxan infusions. You should see remarkable improvement
