enema cramps

I have UC affective the lowest 6 cm of my rectum. I have been having a flare for over 3 months. The symptoms get better sometimes, but I am never feeling perfect. So the doctor put me on 4.8 g asacol oral per day and 4 g asacol enema. I did not feel any difference. The enema is causing me cramps at night, and when I go to the bathroom in the morning, It is diarrhea almost liquidy and I see the enema liquid around the stool. Is this normal? are the cramps during the night from the enema normal? Are they even from the enema? I only go to the bathroom in the morning, and I go another time at like 6 pm with some blood and mucus. Please let me know if you think I should upgrade anything with with my medication because the docs don't seem to change anything . Ive seen over 3 docs and all are prescribing the same with only different dosages, and enema/suppository. nothing seems to help. thank you

I get cramps from using the enemas, but the cramps only really last 30 minutes or so after I use it. The certainly dont keep me awake or wake me up at night or anything. When I poop it out in the morning it always has the white medicine stuff around the poop and usually makes me gassy in the morning and kinda poop squishier sometimes. How long have you been on the enemas? It only took me about a week to know they were helping. What does your dr say?

Have you tried suppositories? Those can be a huge help for your diagnosis - they help me.

thank you for your posts. Well ive tried suppositories Asacol 500 mg twice daily for several months but I always saw them in the stool so I thought they might not being melted or absorbed. They did not help me either so the Dr. thought of putting me on the enemas as they are of a higher dose. Please let me know what you think. thank you
