Hello and welcome to the forum

Can I confirm that you are still having to run to the loo despite being on the meds? If so is your GI aware that you are still having problems? Can you recall what other meds you have been given in the past?

I am glad you have decided to join, there is a lot of helpful info and support here from a great bunch of people.

Hi there and welcome!

Is your Crohn's disease only in your large intestine or is it in your small intestine as well?

 

[trishaken]

hello,thank you ,my large and very thin lining of stomach so im having trouble with med changes,

The thing is, Lialda is only for the large intestine. I wouldn't expect it to help the other areas. You may need a step up from mesalamine (the active ingredient in Lialda).
