I have been on Asacol 2400 for about 3 years. When I was first diagnosed it was twice that dose (4800). Over the last few weeks I have been having some pretty typical symptoms. I have no idea what may of kicked off the flare. I had been taking some nsaid's prior to the flare but besides that I can't think of anything out of the ordinary. I drink beer and it never bothered me. I am trying to be diligent about the meds and I am also taking vit D regularly as prescribed. I am also taking a probiotic. To be honest when I am not flaring I am not as responsible about the Vit D and probiotics. I am also a very anxious person and this is a vicious cycle as we all know - not to mention I am a hypochondriac ...and god only knows what I am thinking.
Regarding the Asacol though, has anyone had experiences of it stopped working for some reason - or could it be something else that kicked up the flare. If it has stopped working what was the next course of action, I.E. did they double the dose, did they add a med, ect.
Thanks for any advice - Joe
