thanks again for the responses. Yeah colitis is a wonderful thing isn't it. When in remission you think man I don't want cancer I should get off these pills... then when you're flaring you're...
Thanks for the reply. I did try asacol when I first flared a few years ago but it didn't do much. I was hoping that lialda in combination with my diet would do the trick and be less harmful than...
I've been taking 4 lialda a day for about the past 9-10 weeks. It doesn't really seem to be doing much. I started steroid enemas about 2 weeks ago. I was hoping for results by now. It's not horrible...
