	Due to 10-15 trips to the bathroom back in Nov from constipation, bloody stools, you name it, I had a colonoscopy this Dec and was diagnosed with active colitis. Unfortunately, my gastroenterologist is having family issues so i had no choice in having to see the other doc in the office. I believe this doc is a dummie and doesn't know much. He finally decided to try me on prednisone two weeks ago and yea that has slowly helped out as i'm now down to about 5-10 trips to the bathroom. But now i'm here to ask a question, is there anything out there that works as good or better than prednisone? Thanks...

	Do you have colitis or Ulcerative colitis? If it's UC, do you know the extent of it? Have you ever tried Rowasa enemas? Or even steroid enemas? When you say you are bleeding, what color is the blood? Dark or light? ^{@--->--SHERRY--<---@} ^{Moderator for Allergies/Asthma and Co-moderator for UC} ^{~Left sided Uc-'92-Colazal(9 daily),6mp(50-100mgs),Prilosec,Biotin,Forvia,Pro-BioUnable to tolerate Asacol, Rowasa or Canasa}^{~Allergies-Singulair} ^{~Secondary Reynauds Syndrome-'04-Norvasc~Fibromyalgia-'06}^{~Sacroiliitis}^{-epidural injections} ^{To help Healingwell - click here: DONATE} http://www.myspace.com/82595818 Back to Top
