I don't want to over do it with meds, but is it ok to the above mentioned?

I think you should not do the Canasa since you started the Rowasa nightly.

See how it goes for another week and if in fact you are OK with the Rowasa, just do that.

ok thank you. I'll keep on this regimen for a couple weeks and see how I do :)

I did Asacol at 10pm, Rowasa before bed and a Canasa this morning. I do this a lot except I don't always use the Rowasa, only when I remember, sometimes I use Canasa, cortifoam or nothing at bedtime depending on how I feel.

In a flare I'll do Rowasa at night and up to 3 Canasa during the day... in addition to my 16 Asacol a day.

Just seems like my bloody d is getting worse. But I'm going to stay on my regimen and hopefully it works itself out

It's hard to tell what is doing what. There are times I think I am getting worse and I'll decrease my medication and i'll notice things improve but there is no way to know if the decrease in meds caused the lessening of symptoms or if I was just having a bad couple days prior to the decrease. Usually I try to stay somewhat consistent and I realize that when I do this, things stay generally stable.

Have you ever tried cortifoam or similar?

do they sell a foam enema in the US? If so I would be willing to try, the liqiud is hard to hold in. I just ordered Bifdo Natren probiotics its for the colon, maybe this might help a little...

Yes, I have something called Cortifoam. It's expensive but it helps.

The steroid foam might be the right boost. It would be good to use that in the morning. The reason I suggest no to the canasa is that you have seemed to be sensitive to 5ASA meds..if it makes you worse, you'll not see that you're improving.

Give it a week...if you're getting worse, it's either the 5ASA or you need an addition./
