Thank you ipoop. I'll look into that.[img]👍...
Hi there, Does anyone know whether it would be safe to use two suppositories at the same time, namely: Pentasa suppository (for the inflammation) and Scheriproct suppository (to alleviate the dull...
Hi Heya.... Is Predsol available again....I didn't even know that it came in a suppository. The Predsol Enema was a miracle medication for me to get me out of a flare, when I could get it. I was told...
You guys are great!! Thank you for taking the time out to answer my post. It's good to know that I can take my maintenance dose indefinitely and even increase it if need be. Ipoop... you mentioned...
Hi everyone.... I am currently on 4 x 800mg Asacol tablets per day and 1 x Pentasa 1g suppository at night. This dosage seems to keep my UC/Proctitis under control and has done for a couple of years....
Does anyone on this forum know whether Asacol suppositories have been discontinued? I have been trying to get hold of them for about a year now. I live in South Africa so not sure if its just this...
Hi there. When I was terribly inflamed I sometimes found them difficult to retain successfully. I eventually discovered that if I rolled over onto my stomach for 5 minutes after administering, the...
Thanks Lr21 for your message .....yes, it is a lot of "trial and error" to get this condition under control and I'm sorry to hear that Asacol may not be working for you. I'm still searching as well...
Oh boy!! I've also forgotten what "normal" is. I've had UC for many years and for the first 10 years I managed to just live with it without taking any medication. Urgency wasn't much of an issue but...
Thanks for the feedback. I'll continue on it for a little longer to see whether it helps over time. It is quite expensive here in South Africa so I don't want to take it if I'm not getting any...
Hi all, my GI recommend that I take Lp299v. Has anyone ever taken this supplement and if so, did it help. I don't see a huge benefit yet and I've been taking them for about 2 weeks....
Hi Toomuchpoopin - thank you so much!! That is such a helpful link!! :)...
Hi all- thanks so much for your feedback. At the moment, I'm still continuing with my high dose of Asacol orally and asacol suppository morning and night. I'm actually amazed at how well my body is...
I started up with a flare about 3 weeks ago. It seems to be so different to my usual symptoms of a flare. I have about 20cm of ulcers and what alarmed me this time was the amount of blood and also...
Thanks guys for all your advice. I spoke to a pharmacist over the weekend and he says the only enema available that he knows of is entocort (not sure of the correct spelling). I have tried this...
Hi everyone! I'm having a terrible flare at the moment and I can't get the medication I need. My GI says that the medication that puts me immediately into remission i.e. Predsol Enemas is no longer...
I've been reading, with much interest, various articles on the benefits of MMS. I have been doing a lot of reading on various treatments at the moment because I am currently going through a flare-up...
Hi Montana, I've been reading, with much interest, your experiences. You seem to be open to trying various methods to get your UC under control. I have been doing a lot of reading on various...
Ha, ha - yes, I agree - sticking cayenne on an already inflamed area does sound rather damaging! I won't be trying it but I'm glad I have other people's viewpoints. I think it's a case of desperation...
Thank you all for your helpful advice. It seems the re-sounding advice is not to go for this clinical trial which, to be quite honest is what my gut feel is telling me! I will definitely be...
I have had ulcerative colitis for approx. 18 years. I have been taking Asacol tablets to control it for the last 10 years but have also used cortisone enema's during flare-ups. I have been really...
