Thought I nipped it in the butt

I haven't had a flare in a few years and now I'm flaring.
I went with enemas for a few nights and then stopped.
Is there something I can do besides nightly enemas to get back on track?
Is it OK that I just did one now in the middle of the day because I had an accident?

Hi Ellen, the only problem with daytime enemas, I think, would be your body would not have the longer hrs as you would during the night to assure maximum benefits. Otherwise, if you are retired and have nothing else to do....and have insomnia like I do sometimes, I nap in the daytime.

I went for several years on 5ASA and only flared a couple times. The enemas helped then. However 2 years ago I got food poisoning or a virus and have been flaring constantly. I tried enemas again and got a horrible reaction, so my Dr. Took me off them, changed to Mezavant, and I start Entyvio Infusions this Friday.

I hope your flare calms down. Let us know how you are. Sorry I don't have any more suggestions but others here should be able to make suggestions.

Keep us updated how you're doing over the next few weeks. I do suggest you increase the oral to at least 3600mg...you can decrease after a few months.
