No side effects from Lialda. I've been using it for 2 years. This is not a medication known for side effects.

No side effects from Lialda. I've been on it for over 3 years now. However in some people it does change the color of your pee or stain the porcelain with a purplish color.

Just make sure to keep the porcelain clean. haha

seems like all 5asa there is something in them that makes me have urgency! I've never been in remission ever in 10 yearS

UCBGone4me...what are the effects you're suffering from?

Are you on rectal meds as well?...because if you're only on oral mesalamine, it could be that you're undermedicated.

Quincy...

Nope, actually getting much better with Lialda.  : )  I do feel pretty bloated at times though.  Now down to just 3 times a day (was averaging 6-8 per day on this last mild flare up).  Scope on the 12th.  Sure wish I could get my dtr. to prescribe another type of prep.  Sigh.  LOL  That white powder is just plain NASTY!

Lialda gave me headaches.
And after going off of it for a few days (ran out of samples) and then getting back on it... I had a bad reaction (increased urgency and frequency.)

Normally I don't think it does much to people... but I noticed the headaches immediately. Maybe because I have a sensitivity to it?
