I've been pooping mucus so yesterday I started myself on cortenemas and today on CCherbal. I hate this...

Oh no Andrea, I am sorry. I know how much this type of thing stresses you out. I also know things have remained stable for you for quite some time, so it's likely it will calm and you will get back on track.

Are you using any probiotics?

Hope you get relief soon. I hate flaring, even the mildest.

You can't use any 5ASAs?

I suppose I could add apriso. I just feel that mesalazines don't help me anymore. I'm currently not using probiotics. Which do you suggest? I have vsl#3 but it makes me reflux badly. Is there something mild yet effective?

Kara I hope you're right.

I do hope you'll get better soon :) I've been using primadophilus reuteri for a while and i think it's quite good, I've alo bought culturelle lately but it hasn't arrived yet

I'd suggest the primadophilus reuteri to start as well.

I'm doing a little better but it's hard to kick mucus.

Have you consulted your doctor? I know you said you started the enemas and are considering adding Apriso. Did your doc give you a standing order to take Apriso? I usually only add the enemas- all the other medicine, I try and talk to my doc first. Maybe that might help??

i'd also vote for enemas, but fortunately there's some progress :)

I didn't call my doctor for this. I always have a stock up on meds. Well, I feel better however I feel stupid. Yesterday I took my azathioprine a couple hours late. It normally affects me really soon and I hope I won't get bad this time. But if I do I'll know why.
