Would like to know what most of your preferences are. Right now I am taking the Cort enemas because I am in the beginning of a flare. However, they seem to burn my rectum and I notice a tad of blood on the toilet paper when I first wipe but no blood in the stool as far as I can tell. I also take a Canasa suppository in the morning.

If I had a choice, I would much rather use Rowasa over the Cortenemas. I can't tolerate mesalamines so when I flare now, I have to use the Cort. But with the Rowasa, I had less side effects (when I could take them) and I healed rather quickly.
