Summary
Cromolyn sodium (GastroCrom), taken at 200-400mg per dose multiple times daily on an ongoing long-term basis; duration of illness and severity are not stated. She called it one of her best medications, saying she has had only a good response and nothing bad from it, which she considers unusual for her. She reports that every time she tries to stop, she crashes, meaning the benefit depends on continuous maintenance dosing. No further follow-up beyond that ongoing use is given.
