Do you currently have a GI? If so, perhaps ask if they have any medication samples or see if he can give you script - these meds are expensive but there are patient assistance programs that can possibly help you. If you are not allergic to sulfa, Sulfasalazine is a cheap med that you can take that might help you.

Bentyl and Lomitil will do nothing for the inflammation. You need something to address this issue directly either via medication (oral or rectal) or perhaps diet modification.

What is the extent of your Uc? Perhaps if you give us more about your history, someone will come along with more advice.
