Hi I have had uc for 10 years. I take canasa nightly and rowasa for flares, Was wondering if anyone has knowledge of using vitamin E enemas. I don't mind the canasa but do not like rowasa lately....
Thanks everyone. I didn't think it was canasa. Just wanted to cover everything that goes into my body. Went to neurologist. He thought it would go away. did some tests that were fine. Quincy, strange...
Has anyone had any strange side effects from using canasa for over 10 years? I am dealing with some nerve issues, numbness, burning sensations. Doctors have ruled out so many major issues. Any help...

Thanks Max I will sit tight for a few days and hope it was just one time and something I ate. I have been eating more (as we all do after a flare). So maybe my colon didn't like something. Donna...

Just my opinion, but I would try to stay away from Renicade and Imuran until all other less potent meds have been explored. I would definately ask for some rectals. Rowasa enemas or suppositories....
I was taking a fairly strong B12 supplement. But thought excess would just be eliminated in the urine. Guess I was wrong. How would one know if it was due to bacterial overgrowth? I am now off to...
I have be in a flare since the end of January. Had blood work done and I am anemic with high levels of B12 (1463). Does anyone know what would cause high level of B12. I know deficient in b12 in more...
