Rowasa and food triggers

For flare ups, how often do you use Rowasa? Daily for a few weeks? For future reference for me. Is it absorbed better than canasa since it's liquid?

I have been doing pretty well lately. However I made a poor choice and had chili last night. Today I have loose stools x 2 and pretty bad cramping with the last one. Post UC diagnosis, are there just some foods we can't tolerate as well? Why is that? Are we just more sensitive to foods that irritate the gut? I guess even people without UC have bad days too, with GI upset and what not, I guess I just tend to over analyze things now.

Thanks for the support you all have provided.

Food triggers and food intolerances seem to be very individual so you'll have to find out what yourgut tells you. Pre-UC I cannot remember any food or drink causing problems. Now? Ha.
My non-tolerated list used to be very long but as my gut heals the list gets shorter. Beans (your chili) are not tolerated for me, likely due to the fiber.

Enemas always did much more to help me than Canasa, used enemas at night before sleeping.
