Diagnosed with colitis February of last year and just have inflammation and blood (a lot of blood) when I go to the bathroom. Have been on the mesalamine enemas for about a year with no spectacular relief, doc recently switched me to colocort and I feel like it's gotten worse. Most often an urgency to go immediately after eating but no diarrhea, just a lot of blood.
I guess my question is, does anyone have good/bad experiences with either of these enemas? I am so sick of doing them each day and would much rather take something orally. My doc had also given me a prescription for Lialda but felt it wouldn't be strong enough, that I would need the immediate effects of the enemas.
Just looking for advice! Like I said, just trying to cut down on the blood and urgency to go. Thanks so much!
