the outside capsule will almost completely dissolve in water, if it was in the stomach it wouldnt last long at all. I dont think it would still be on it once it reached the colon. I think they put it...

Quincy I am back on meds now, as noted in the orginal post and also on rectals at night for the next 30 days. Maybe I can do it, just not in a flare....
I really miss coffee. How many of you does it really bother? It may be in my head that it bothers me. I was on meds and was able to drink it no problem, and when I did the SCD diet, or was trying it...
This time my flare started right at the end of decemeber. I had been deer hunting like I always do. At the deer camp had a bowl of ramen style soup with meat added to to, some deer tenderloin. Good...
When a lot say, "I was eating fine all these years and then suddenly something triggered it", maybe your body finally got fed up with cokes, coffee, mcdonalds, etc? I just do not know anymore and...

I got me some psyllium capsules. How often do you all take these if you do. Says to take 5 and you can do it up to 3x a day. Not sure I will need to do it that often though....
Im not saying I dont need to be on rectal meds, but actually I respond pretty good to asacol and have started back on it. Since Friday Ive gotten a lot better, I had a large rope of a turd this...

Thanks Quincy. Not as bad a most, I am on my 5th poop of the day, well that was hours ago, Ive been napping, but anyways In that last poop I saw two partially digested asacol pills. First time I...
It does it a lot around a flare. I dont think it has anything to do with pred since I am rarely on it. It may be just part of the uc....
