I have found reaching remission of ulcerative proctitis was very difficult and challenging. I created this post to collect the bright thoughts and experiences together, which I hope will be helpful for everyone with ulcerative proctitis.

I haven't reached a remission state.
Followings are what I am trying right now:
slippery elm bark powder enema
turmeric powder
astaxanthin
probiotic enema

I wish to see some success. What about you? What bring you into remission?

I initially was diagnosed with UP and I was able to treat it with Canasa. Eventually it spread to pancolitis and I had to use Canasa and Asacol to get into remission.

I think Im on my way to remission now, My symptoms are decreasing, I had the first normal BM I have had in many many months, barely a trace of blood and no noticeable mucus. I see a new Gastro on Wednesday and hope to begin the process of stepping off all the meds slowly.

I have found that with a whole person attitude, Therapy, meditation, diet, great family, and a good doctor i will be able to achieve full remission much faster than with meds alone. I am so Thankful for this forum and everyones thoughts
and shared experiences.

Today is a good day!

     I sure hope you people find something to help you into remission.  I suffered with ulcerative proctitis for twelve years, ran the gamut of meds and finally resorted to surgery June 28,2010.  The meds, mostly prednisone, was killing me.  I will forever have osteoporosis but my blood pressure is very much under control and I no longer have type 2 Diabetes and of course, no UP tongue !
