And I find Salofalk more soothing than one can even imagine (not the freaking squared off tip of the nozzle however!!....but the cortifoam which I used for 2 weeks only did seem to help (another doc prescribed them because my doc was away on an emergency).

Defintely an option...

Ya, it can suck with that applicator but what comes out of it is sooooo much better than salofalk (speaking from my own personal experiance of course).

Thanks for this thread. I found it very useful.
My main symptoms are urgency in the morning and it is only recently. Have to go after breakfast and tea.
It sucks cause I walk my daughter to school and have to run back home- feeling sick and an urge to go

Its stressfull now to go out in the mornings

chere,
Before I was diagnosed with UC 2 years ago the only symptom was urgency every morning. I had to rush to the washroom while I was having breakfast. After a couple of days I saw red particals in the toilet bowl. I thought I was eating too much cherries and that's it. But the urgency was enough to make me go see my family doctor. He referred me to a GI doctor who said I had inflammation in my rectum. And my UC history began...

The urgency eased off 3 months after I used the Salofalk enema nightly at that time. And I didn't see blood any more till last November...

Will ask my GI about Salofalk.
Thanks a ton
