 Ok so Im not really posting much here as I feel my issues seem very minor compared to most posters here, which kind of makes me feel like im whining ......

So anyway, ive been away on holiday and over the last two weeks the times I take my Asacol as varied in time a bit.

Ive had no problems but..always a but, the last two mornings ive woken up with a Brown liquid im assuming is diarraeah on the bed.

Its just like water but brown for obvious reasons.

Also my urgency has increased a bit in the last two days.

So Im thinking with my asacol out of sync and im only saying by an hour either way of my usual time I take it.

So Should I do a few nights of the enimas to help out or just leave it and take the Asacol on time?

Thanks

use the enemas....which ones do you have?

How many asacol and how often do you take them?
You can split the dosage and take it twice a day.

I would not think you would just pass diareah on your bed...are you sure its not blood from someplace else?

I should not think the asacol is that sensitive to the timing. It probably takes different amounts of time to get to your colon on any given day, already.

You might be sharting in your sleep! Post that topic ~ And it does sound like you need more than asacol.

Sharting LOL now thats funny.

Its 4 800g asacol twice a day and asacol enimas.

Ill take the enimas for a few days.

I also have a bad habit of drinking a coffee before bed so I guess Ill cut that out now.

Sharting........too funny.

Oh and its not blood its crap colour..light golden brown

Thanks

Yeap... sounds like golden brown sharting to me too, I wouldnt worry about cutting out the coffee, but would up the enamas to nightly and see if things correct themselves. your call though.

yep, sharting is a funny word. Now, I havent had any experience with sleep sharting myself, but I did have to cut out the coffee bc they were murderous on my tum, sent me straight into a flare. It couldnt hurt to try cutting it out. I cut it out and *that* flare dried up for the most part of its own.

It sounds more like mucus with stool...easily slips out if it's in the rectum.

The coffee could trigger more peristalsis...so that might activate things a bit especially with the mucus.

If you have any gas, it'll come out...

You should consider to try fibre supplements as well as probiotics.

You're not taking 4800 twice daily are you? or are you taking 6 asacol twice daily?

Apparently, sharting is an actual word...go figure.

Stay on the enemas for at least 2 weeks.
