Hi everyone!
Went to the dr at the beginning of the month and was switched from Lialda to pentasa. I also take two align a day and rowasa nightly. I feel fine. No urgency, pain or blood. I go 1-2 times a day and I never have diarrhea. My dr gave me the rx for the Ldn, but requested I give the pentasa a month to work. As I said, I think it is working, but I'm not too thrilled bout taking a total of ten pills and an enema every night indefinitely. Sees like a lot of meds for maintenance.

Should I try to add the Ldn to this, switch completely to nothing but Ldn, or just be grateful that something is working and not mess with it?

I think I would stick with what you are doing if you are doing that good

Seconding to allswell, if it ain't broken, don't fix it.

Yes, if your doing well, I would stick w/ it. May be worth having LDN around though ..if you have any problems, you can start it asap. Just my 2 cents.

LDN is fantastic and its done a lot to save my life with UC, but I wouldn't even bother if I were you. Totally agree with the above posters: don't fix it! It's not broken!

Thanks for the advice everyone!
I wont change anything.

I do wonder why the pentasa is working so much better... Anyone have any ideas?
