Background:
Began worst flare in July after 6 mos on Asacol. Reverted to Colazal which I had been on prior to Asacol. No improvement in flare. Started Prednisone in Sept while simultaneously taking Colazal. Improvement in symptoms but not as dramatic as I or GI had hoped. Three days ago experimented (w/o GI's advice) and stopped taking Colazal relying solely on Prednisone. Today...wala!...a perfect poop! My first one in maybe a year. So, I'm going to axe Colazal for a few more days and see what happens.
Makes me wonder if my body just doesn't like Colazal or Asacol. Both drugs improve symptoms somewhat (i'll go from watery diarrhea to loose stools but never to a good stool).
Question:
What are folks experiences with Colazal or Asacol?
