Ulcerative Proctitis

I have UP. I was in a mild flare (up to 12 bms per day) for about six months while taking Canasa. When my flare became very severe (awful pain, couldn't eat), I finally saw my gastro who put on on 40mg of prednisone and Apriso. The prednisone worked like magic. My bms went down to 1-2 per day and I felt AMAZING. Prednisone for me was like being on cocaine and I had no negative side effects.

I tapered the prednisone for 6 weeks while taking the Apriso, which kicked me out of the flare.

Gateway.....explain how long on the enemas nightly?

q

The enemas are what helps best in my sons case. I have noticed you need to keep on them as long as it takes.

Yes, only Enema since diagnosis

Yes, 3 years. 4g liquid and last scope also 3 years ago.

Mixed acute and chronic inflammatory infiltrate, crypt distortion and regeneration as well as granuloma. Scattered granulation tissue. Consistent with IBD

Extent is 20 cm.

Thanks for advice all

Yep, breakdown of biopsies in other areas nothing noted.

I'll see Dr in 2 weeks

The presence of granulomas is very curious (it's kinda a crohn's or crohn's-colitis thing). The rest sounds like UC. I'd definitely be on something oral, like lialda/asacol/pentasa.

Good to hear, hope it works well for you!
