WhooopS! my bad. enema is what I meant. anyways I could not get the liquid medicine in properly...
Well, and this may seem really dumb, but the mechanism I am talking about is when you twist the cap a full circle to allow the liquid out. I could not for the life of me get it to open, and then when...
I am going to try again tonight. I really hope the release mechanism doesn't break....
Gary are you saying I should keep trying asacol up to the max dose? (obvs talk with dr. before doing it on my own) And I am curious for your opinion on this. Because I am seeing some results...
Wow thank you all for the responses! I am in a mild flare, haven't got out of it, I have been inactive for almost a year. and I just miss being active. sometimes after being sedentary for awhile, the...
I have kind of been forced to be quite sedentary since getting diagnosed everytime I seem to start being more active, my symptoms get worse. there are other possible reasons for the symptoms that I...
I have been on asacol for just over 4 months I have had a handful good days. but for the most part I still go to the washroom between 6-10 times a day. Those washroom trips are not always stool, but...
since I noticed my first full asacol tablet in the toilet, i have taken the opportunity of being at home, and check my stool often. I have been seeing at times, mostly in the morning, FUll tablets...

How would you go about finding out if you are Low?...
My dr. said to give it a full month of full dose. I have read it can take a long time to work efficiently, If I try it for a full month and it doesn't work, than I know for sure and I can stop it and...

Toomuchpoopin - Is the asacol working well for you? Can you eat most foods? Did you have any side effects in the first bit? I am taking my asacol 3 x a day I believe before I was taking all at once,...
I decided to give medication a chance. I need to get this under control and fix my blood work results, as I am really low on blood, iron, etc. I'm trying Asacol for a whole month, both times I tried...
I too am failing with just diet. I have discussed with my Dr. to try asacol one more time, but this time to stick it out for a month. I agree with ewafromwarsaw, And I'm trying to get healthier,...
when it comes to a colonoscopy, think about it this way. Every time you have one, you get to see, if you are healing from what you are taking, or if you are getting worse. Either way, you know. and...

- Garylouisville When I was in remission in November I started asacol, and I feel that the asacol as well as eating a lot of this Alfredo sauce put me into a flare Just recently in January I was...
Thank you all for the quick replies In my mind I feel like I just have to try it the natural way. My mom and uncle (basically my only family) are really supportive/pushing trying it without meds....
