Thank you Teatime. My daughter already started on Methotrexate (pills) 20 mg per week and she takes folic acid everyday. Her specialist said when I told about the trouble she is having with it - mouth ulcers, etc - that the alternative to methotrexate is steroids and that is not a better option. She was not having gastric problems at that point. I will make sure I highlight this gastric problem next appointment (May). She started taking this drug in June 2011. Did you develop problems later on or was it bad for you from the start. Do you also have MTCD and what autoimmune disease is prevalent with you. As of now, it appears my daughter has Sjogren's.

I am very grateful for your input. It gives me some sort of direction to take and that is what I need. Hope you reach a comfortable state with your health. God bless you.
