So I've seen on here that a lot of people use and recommend mesalazine enemas. My doctor has never even touched on this issue with me and I have never asked. All of my treatment thus-far as been in the oral, injection, or intravenous forms. From what I understand, I have never had IBD-associated inflammation in my rectum. I have moderate IBD-associated inflammation in my sigmoid colon and severe inflammation throughout the rest of the colon and up slightly into the ileum. Thus, I have a diagnosis of "indeterminate colitis". Do you think I should still bring this issue up to my doctor? How far into the colon are enema drugs able to act? I've never gotten an enema so I really have no idea. Thank you to anyone who can offer advice! :)
