Pentasa Foam Enema

[Chrismac]

Has anyone ever taken the Pentasa foam enema? I was prescribed it about 4 years ago but it just made me bleed...

Also because it was foam it was a bit weird to know what to do, whether you had to poop it out like a normal enema or leave it.... It never seemed to want to come out after and I wondered if that could cause bleeding.

Thing is, my doctor said it is really good for flares and most people don't have problems.

I was wondering if anyone else has had this? I decided to stop taking it and we tried to find something else, but I always wonder if I was doing something wrong (but how hard can it be, right??!)

I have never had to do a pentasa foam enema before. Although something tells me I wouldn't do well with it - I seem to have an extra sensitive digestive tract, and even doing a water enema burns like heck!
