Oh I'm taking 6 asacol a day, 3 twice a day. Prior to my last visit it was 2 pills 3x a day. It was very very difficult to follow the 3 times a day schedule due to my job. It's 12 hr shift work....
Well, my only symptoms were really bad constipation and blood with bowel movements. I've never suffered from lots of bowel movements, which seems weird to me. From what I understand having to go alot...
Well...that really helps calm my nerves. Remission was achieved 2 months ago within 3 doses of canasa and asacol. I would imagine that my guts are only slightly irritated and I should be ok after a...
So you can consider no symptoms while on medication remission? I thought you had to be off meds....
I agree that it was odd to be taken off the canasa. It's my opinion that the dr is just trying to get me away from having to shove things up where they don't belong. I sure don't like it but it beats...
Well, Long story short, I suffer from ulcerative proctitis. About 10 days ago my GI took me off of Canasa and left me on asacol (3 x 400 mg 2 times a day) and all has been spectacular! Till today. I...
I was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis about a month ago. The gi prescribed 2 canasa suppositories a day as well as asacol. Though I'm not really keen on administering them, the suppositories are...
Howdy! I'm no dietician but I share the same goal as you. I'm scrawny and really light. Just two days ago I came across "the daily plate" website. It will let you input your height, weight, and...
Welcome to the forum. I'm new here too so I get what you mean about terminology and the like. I wish the best for you in finding a path to a long remission =D...
Well, I for one have issues with alcohol use! But uh, purely physical ones. Before I started on my asacol and canasa regimin if I drank, my colon would freak the heck out. If I drank I would have...
Oh, I never lost weight. I'm a stick. 130 has been my weight for years. I guess I will consult my gi as to a colonoscopy. He is very accomplished in his field, so that makes me a bit calmer. He never...
The GI's course of action is the asacol and canasa for 6 weeks. Then I have another consultation with him. He mentioned a few things that he thinks are possible. He's seen cases where he treats it...
Sorry for such a delay in my reply. I work nights so I sleep till about noon or later. Pretty awesome s hedule. Anyways! No, I haven't had a whole colonoscopy. Is that necessary? Just a flexible-...
Howdy, As the topic states I'm brand spanking new here. About 4 years ago when I was 20-21 I had intermittent blood on tp. It would go away, really only showed up during extreme stress. I was in...
