so im starting to read my symptoms a bit better now..

i was on 9 tablets of asacol daily 400mg each and no enima then i went to 4 x 800mg asacol just for less tablets really.

after about a week i started to get a really bad hip pain just on one side, stools changed a little bit, then today small amount of blood.

so im thinking its a small flare and because ive reduced my drugs(doctor recommended)  and no enimas this has kicked it off.

so im thinking i will do enimas (asacol) for 2 weeks nightly then go down to a 1 a week maintenance dose.

I also got a bit lax with my diet so keeping stricter on this too

i dont have any pain in the hip currently and i feel good in myself.

its all about reading your body and giving it what it needs i guess.

i also find bread blocks me up a bit now (constipation) so do you get gluten issues with uc?

thanks for any replies :)
