Canasa...problems?

I have to wonder if you would have had the D regardless of the Canasa. I know it is possible to have adverse reactions to different medications but I would give it a try again and see if you do better. Sometimes when you're inflammed badly, anything touching the area makes you hve to go. It seems to happen to me when I use enemas during a flare. I have better luck with Canasa but in a bad flare it can be hard to retain a suppository.

I think you may be jumping the gun in accusing  the Canasa of causing the D. I've never had any trouble with these meds. I would take the suppository again and see if you have the same reaction.

You all are right! I thought I was completely empty before trying Canasa the night before, but I guess I wasn't. I did it again last night and it stayed in me for about 4 hours before I had D.

sometimes if I have to go after using a suppository, I will wait a little while and use another. I can usually retain the 2nd one. I hate to waste them, they are so expensive but if it helps you heal, it's worth it.

I wanted to know if anyone here experience this during a flare. 

I'm going through having what I think is quite a bit of blood in the bowl at times when I am having a BM, sometimes it's more than others.  When I use the Canasa that changes and my BM now is dark with no blood.  So then I think ok - I don't need to take the Canasa - seems fine.  Until the next time a couple of days after and it happens again.  I did go for a month using one Canasa in the morning and then one at night.  I was good for a couple of weeks after I stopped but then went back to the same issue again.  Should I go longer than a month doing that twice a day.  Also do you experience a lot of gas with this UC?  I did go on a veg diet almost 2 years ago. 

 I'm also taking 4 Apriso's a day in the morning (I have to wonder about these drugs and how much they are helping) and 1 probiotic a day, along with a multi vit, and calcium pill.  I have always been a healthy person up until 5 years ago when I found out I had UC. It's been up and down since then.  Do I need to worry about this bleeding off and on?  I can only imagine what my colon looks like and worry that it will get worse and end up getting colon cancer.....my fear - since colon cancer runs in the family, along with crohns disease in the family.   Thank you for listening/reading and would welcome any advise.

Thank you for your response.  I'm going to give it another week and see how I'm doing.  If I'm still bleeding then I will make an appointment with my GI. 

I do need to have some blood work done - I was low on Vit D - but may wait until I see my GI incase she wants to do some blood work herself.  I do want to say that I think taking probiotics helps.  I ran out last week and only got to the store on Tuesday to get some more.  I was having some pains in my stomach and now seem to be doing better.

This UC can be so stressful at times never mind everyday life........I know that doesn't help it either.  I try to calm myself and also want to start doing some yoga which I hear may help.

Thanks again,
