Advice Please

I posted earlier that my insurance basically screwed me out of Lialda. So ... I am going to have to try Sulfasalazine, playing that old insurance game :(

In y'all's opinion, since I am in remission, do you think the Sulfasalazine will help me maintain status quo? Or do you think that it might cause me to flare? I have no known allergies and am in generally good health (minus the seasonal allergies). I take all the supplements in my signature line faithfully.

I have not had UC as long as some of you have so I would love some advice of you veterans out there that have taken Sulfasalazine. I understand that it does help with joint and muscle pain of UC too?

There are also several different forms of Sulfasalazine?? Should I ask for the enteric coated or does it matter?

P.S. And yes, I will inquire about rectal meds too :)

I took Sulfasalazine only for thirty years in complete remission. I had no bleeding, diarrhea or pain. I was normal. Ate and drank way too much of everything. Absoutely no problem. Everybody is different. Worked well for me. Worth a try.
