The medication cannot be discontinued immediately since it takes a little while until the diet takes effect. First one should try to wean the patient from cortisone since these artificial adrenal cortex preparations generally inhibit protein synthesis. That means they do not only suppress the production of immune cells and thereby subdue the symptoms, but also interfere with the healing of the mucosa. Eventually one will be able to discontinue all medication. Should there be a relapse in the first few years, one can temporarily take up the medication again. A mild relapse does not require medication.
