I was put on cortifoam and am supposed to use it morning and night. I was on the a year ago or so and went of it without it helping for some reason (of which i have forgotten). I have severe rectal inflimation which causes me pressure, throbbing, constant urges for bowel movements and lots of gas. Do you think cortifoam could exacerbate all these symptoms? Please tell me your experience with cortifoam including its side effects. Thanks.

I used it about
a year and a half ago, when I had killer hemmies and before I was diagnosed. It didn't do much for me.

I had it too. It did not do too much for me either.

I think I noticed a little bit of a difference w/ the rectal inflamation w/ Cortifoam, but it took a few weeks of using it. It's not really painful or difficult to use like regular supositories or enemas, it's pretty painless. I didn't notice any side effects. Good luck.

Cortifoam is about
one of the best treatments for proctitis (inflammation in the rectom) however it varies from person to person on how long it takes to kick in....It most definitely is not likely it will make things worse, being a steroid treatment right at the source of inflammation it will make things better.

Its just seems to like im inserting air as its so foamy and fluffy. Air is NOT what i need! It makes me feel full of it all night long too!

The stuff I used was topical only- it was clearly labeled as NOT for insertion. It sounds like you're using a different version.

jusdebbie :)
Is this the first time you've ever used cortifoam? It's likely that you're just not use to the sensation of it, and you are likely very sensitive due to the amount of inflammation, give it time it will get better...FYI I was/am only ever able to use it at night, my mornings have always been too active to use it in the mornings but using at night when things are not so active just before bed really helps me.
