i also have this disease.i take at the present time,a pill called asacol.Ihad been in remission for 12 yrs. and i have it again.This time it is harder to get rid of the rectal bleeding,so for that i am taking the cortizone enemas twice a day.i have been getting some up dates about a new medication colazal that will be available in 20001.Go to www.salixltd.com and you can read more about it.This is a scary disease and i have actually gained about 7 lbs. instead of losing weight.keep in touch,and maybe this thing will be cured someday soon.
