I have been using Asacol foam enemas recently and I have had a very small improvement in symptoms from small amounts of blood all of the time to only a little bit of blood at night. However, today I have passed enough blood to slightly change the toilet water colour to a pale pink.
Last time I tried steroid suppositories they worked fairly well, they got a lot of bleeding down during a full flare of lots of blood being passed. The only reason why they didn't work fully was because of iron suppliments aggrivating the disease.
So I was wondering would it do any harm to try some steroid suppositories for a few days?
I have them lying around in the cupboard from the last time I had them about 8 months ago.
Also, I can't contact my doctors as I am in the process of being transferred from a child clinic to an adult clinic so I don't have the number for my doctors at the moment
