Do enemas help with blood and/or diarrhea?

My daughter is on Pred but is still having D about 2-3 times a day.

Would using Cortenemas be helpful for this symptom?

I think Pred taken orally would address both issues?

Since she can't use 5ASA in conjunction with the pred, using a steroid enema would give her too much in her system I would think.

How long has she been on pred this time?

My heart breaks for her and all that she's going through at such a young age....is her inflammation throughout her entire colon?

She has been on Pred for 1 week now.

I think it was mostly left sided but a cecal patch.

Had she ever been on entocort oral and a rectal steroid?

No because she cannot swallow a pill yet!
