I have never tried them, but I went to an Integrative Practitioner (he is an Internal Medicine doc who opened this practice that melds western with alternative) and he suggested them. I haven't tried anything from him yet because my GI asked that I not use anything else right now while I am getting started on Remicade, just to see how it does without other influences.
Anyway, my GI doc got cut off, but he said they are supposed the feed the colon of people with UC, but that they are very expensive, not covered by any insurance, hard to find and smell terrible. That said, he didn't say they weren't any good-but I got the feeling he wouldn't recommend them over traditional rectals.
I wish I could tell you that I had some actual experience with them, but they have come recommended to me by the Integrated Practitioner. Might be worth a try!
