Quincy, It was so many years ago and I believe it was months I was on Rowasa enemas and Asacol. Mind you, My Dr at the time was not a GI doctor. That might have been the problem. I will try them...
Thank you everyone sooo very much! I have taken the rowasa enemas in the past and found they did nothing for me. I have never tried anything but Asacol, Asacol HD and Prednisone for the 8 years I...
I don't know where to begin. I usually get on here to find info and it is a life saver! I recently had a flare up and my dr was on vacation so another gastro took over until he got back. He put me on...

Thanks so much! I don't know what took me so long but I am excited to be here!...
