did it get you in remission... ? I feel way better than a few weeks ago but still have lots of belly pain and struggle in the bathroom every time  I feel like I have to  go its just the urgency sometimes I go with lots of pain no blood but very painful.  if they say its mild then is it not that serious??? I don't know if I should take any kind of swelling as something severe with PANCOLITIS...im not trying to be a drama queen I guess I am pretty angry that I was first diagnosed and was given Bentyl that's all no treatment med. it took four months to spread throughout my entire colon thus Pan colitis... I don't trust these doctors... I feel so terrible cry smhair

I was prescribed this drug as an anti -spasmotic and it did help with that and therefore to a degree the urgency, but it was not presented to me as a drug that would lead to remission. Are you dissolving tablets under your tongue?

No, it did not get me into remission. Nothing's done that...

It basically slows down your guts.

I was undiagnosed for 14 months, even though my doctor had biopsy results showing UC.

It is frustrating!

Just curious, exactly how many Basalazide are you taking a day?

As for the Hyo...it shouldn't have many side effects. My 17 year old daughter takes that for IBS and she found that it makes her less tired than Bentyl. It's an anti-spasmodic. It helps stop cramping in the gut.

Basically its for the pain..balsalazide is to treat??? I take 3 3x a day of balsalazide...

I took it about a year ago. It helped slightly with stomach cramps but no a lot. It made my mouth and eyes extremely dry. I ended up stopping it because of the eye and mouth dryness. I still have about a hundred pills of them sitting in my medicine cabinet. I was prescribed it by a moron doctor who told me all my lower abdominal pain and weight loss was just due to IBS (he was wrong...diagnosed with UC later by another doc).

Basalazide is the generic form of Colazal. It's basically an anti-inflammatory for the colon and its used to treat. It's supposed to keep the inflammation down, which in turn allows you to heal. I've been on Colazal now for about 6 years (but its not enough for me unfortunately). But 9 a day is the normal dose. I was just making sure you weren't taking any less.

I have some hyoscymanine. I had no side effects but works great before eating food.

..and all I need is to slow my guts down so the Resistant Starch in Navy beans can ferment into butyrate SCFA and the bleeding stops and heeling begins.

Hyocyamine is one of several transit slowing tools I use ( librax,mebeverine,imodium,vicodin,pepto bismal )
