I have the 4mg doses. Should I use the full dose during the night or should I try 2mg and see how long I can retain it?

Has anyone tried the Suprep prep? How is it compared to the lemony one? What about to Moviprep (if that's not the lemony one, ha)?

You should use the full dose.

OK, thank you! That is what I assumed but wanted to get everyone's opinion. :)

My first couple of nights using enemas I only did half- because I was scared to death of crapping it all out over myself or in the bed or something! Lol, I was paranoid (for no reason). But it helped give me the confidence that I could hold it etc for when I was brave enough to try the whole 4g. Sure, using all of it is best, but I think that holding half of it in the whole night has to be better than squirting the whole thing in and then expelling it 5 minutes later. Just my layman opinion though.

That is what I was worried about! I have done different types of enemas such as vit e, aloe vera, etc with no problems so I'm hoping all goes well...

Time to put a towel under me like I saw someone suggest somewhere on one of the threads! :D

Oh, well if you've already done enemas you should have no worries :-)
I was a complete newbie to all rectal meds...that's why I was so terrified tongue it really wasn't bad, and the positive results were so obvious within a few days for me.

So I held the mesalamine in for about 4 hours. I prob could have held it in for more but I was gassy. There was a little more blood in toilet with d but overall I feel better.

What is the max dose for 9mg uceris per day? 1x? I want to be sure I'm not over dosing as this was his first time prescribing it so he gave me 3x day.

For the mesalamine meds, has anyone had a little more blood show before healing starts? I had more blood in the AM and now. So far D still and I went 3x since 5am.
