Thanks for your replies! Sorry I should have been more specific: I could take the enemas more than once (if the doctor thinks its worth it), but I can't get a repeat script. Which means every month I...
Hi everyone, Just posting because I guess I need to hear other people's stories about using salofalk enemas. My main symptoms is blood mucus and since starting treatment with pentasa oral and pentasa...
Hi everyone! This is more just a random question to satisfy my curiosity, but I was wondering what colour the blood (when it comes out) is from different parts of the colon? Obviously bright red...
That's fantastic news!! I'm also on pentasa, as well as salofalk enemas and pentasa suppositories. I think we chatted on another thread abut our symptoms, I've responded really well to pentasa except...
Thank for your replies! Yes I agree, I'd rather an extra BM per day of in exchange for no blood. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens! Thanks 😊...
Hi all, Just wanted to see if anyone else has had this experience. Recently I've started doing one pentasa suppository every morning and one 4g salofalk enema at night to try and stamp out my last...
Just thought I'd update for anyone who is interested. The bleeding got worse during my cold so I decided to start taking pentasa 1g suppositories twice per day. Within a day or two my bowel movements...
I realise that this thread is old but I just wanted to tell you that I have mild Crohn's colitis and my specialist has told me that he will give me a FMT if 5-ASAs don't work. He said that because...
Hi Smallfry, I'm sort of the same as you. I've been diagnosed with crohn's colitis, small patch in the descending colon but most of the disease is in my rectum. Like you I was expecting Ulcerative...
Glad I'm not the only one holo100! That's interesting that your doc wants to wait to see if it will go away by itself. I know that IBD can spontaneously go into remission but I've never heard of a...
Ps. One of the other issues could be that I go to the bathroom in the morning but use the suppository at night. I know it says to use after you've had a BM but well with it being the morning I don't...
Hi everyone, I posted this previously in the Crohn's forum as technically I have mild Crohn's colitis but my main problem area now is the rectum so I thought I might get some more help here in the UC...
whatdoigotDOC! - I've never tried the enemas, only the pentasa 1g suppositories once per day. I'm thinking. I might have to go back and ask to try what you are on. I see Dr Suhirdan Vivekanandarajah...
Pentasa has actually worked really well for me except for the rectal bleeding. It stopped my frequent bowel movements and diarrhea within a week and a half. To be fair, blood was my first symptom and...
Hi everyone, So this is my first time posting. I have mild-moderate Crohn's colitis. At the moment it's only in the lower portion of my colon (caecal patch, small section in descending colon, 9cm...
