Cannot stop the bleeding !!

I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Proctitis in Late July 2011. Since then I have been on Canasa 1000 mg once a day {Doctor prescribed twice a day but of course Insurances control our health care and they would only cover once/day}. I had great results for the 1st week or so. But ever since I have not been able to stop the bleeding. Bloody stool is my major issue. Currently, I am still on Canasa once a day, hydrocortisone enemas every night , and Lialda {3 tabs per day} all of these seem to help a bit but the majority of my bowel movements are still bloody. I am a very nervous person to start with and now I have allowed this condition to consume my life. I am the type of person who thinks the worse of every situation and this is not different. I am stressed about this to say the least!

Am I not giving it enough time ? How long should it take to see some results from these meds? I have tried to change my diet {gluten free}, but this doesn't seem to matter either. I am wondering what others with this condition think about my situation. Are these the medications that have helped others ? Are there other meds, foods, over the counter meds that I should consider. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the comment. My stool is mostly solid a bit of mucus but for the most part solid. I do take fiber as well. I will try to give it some time. What is your opinion on probiotics ? I have read that they can help as well. I just have been hesitant of adding lots of new things all at once.

Never thought of the enema instead of the suppository. Actually, I have noticed that when I have a movement without blood it is always the movement after the enema. Hope you are onto something. thanks

6-mp is an immunosuppressant often used if 5-asa is not enough or if there is prednisone dependency. It would be best if you googled it because there is a lot of information about how it works, what its side effects are, ... etc. No posting here is going to give you as much info as you get reading the 6-MP wikipedia page.

I think you are bleeding because you have solid stools. The far end of the colon/rectum is inflamed and subject to bleeding. The hydrocortisone shoud mitigate bleeding some, and the 5-asa suppository should start to reduce the inflammation (but, as noted it may not be reaching high enough.). I suspect if you had poorly formed stool there would be less bleeding. Moving a well formed stool through an inflamed and ulcerated section of the colon is going to result in some blood. 

I think the key issue is whether you are slowly responding versus not responding because the meds are not reaching the right spot, or the underlying condition (i.e., affected area) is getting worse. You can wait out the former, but the latter needs a change in regime.

I agree with the Rowasa enema comments! They have worked very well for me. When I first started with them, I was so inflamed, I couldnt hold them in but after reading on this site, I picked up some great tips and now I use them as needed with no problems!
Good luck and I hope you are feeling better soon!
