During moderate/sever flare-ups I took prednisone orally, in foam suppository as well as mesalamine orally and through suppository. In moderate flare-ups mesalamine orally w/ mesalamine suppositories.
My question is - beyond the general risk that HSV presents - how additionally risky is this for me? It is a possibility that at some point I will have a flare-up that will require immonusuppressive therapy. If I was to contract HSV could my UC symptoms become more severe?
He had a flare up and has been in the hospital for 3-4 days twice. In the hospital they put him on 4.8g of mesalamine and 60mg of prednisone. After that they put him on 1.6g of mesalamine and 40g of prednisone. It worked for couple of weeks but now he started having fever at night so they put him on 2.4g of mesalamine and 40mg of prednisone. Will see how this one works. This has been the 3rd night on this dosage. I feel like this dr are not caught up on their readings.

I have read about a study in which Boswellia was used in conjunction with Mesalamine. My gastroenterologist knows notheing about herbs, but is open to information that I can give her. What is available? Are there any interactions with boswellia and mesalamine that I should be cautious about? Are there any precastions about its use?
My recent result of biopsy after the colonoscopy indicates epithelial dysplasia. My doctor just advice me to continue taking the mesalamine (Asacol) Do i need an another urgent medication/treatment for dysplasia? What should be my next move?
There is also a new time-release, once per day formulation of mesalamine on the market called Lialda. The matrix of that formulation may be better tolerated in your GI tract. Bottom line is that you have options.
I wish you well, IBD is a total drag.
is cryoablation available in india?......
is it possible that Canasa suppositories might be causing a sour taste in my mouth that I did not have before stating this medication for SRUS?
There have been a few cases of liver failure possibly related to the use of mesalamine (the active ingredient in Asacol HD), but I haven't read anything about fatty liver as a side effect.
A fatty liver, it takes between 6 months and 2 years to fully reverse. Dr Sandra Cabot's article "Fatty Liver - What Is Fatty Liver And How To Reverse It?
Hello! My son is 4month 10days today. My son was born in indonesia and uptill 3months he had his vacvinations in indonesia itself. Since one month i have come to india for vaccation and his 4month vaccination for DTP- HIB and Polio is pending. I m concerned about getting him vaccinated here in india as brand for vaccination will be different from indonesia.
Is it ok if i get my son vaccinated with different brand in india?
This all occurred after starting a 30 day course of Canasa (Mesalamine) to which I had rash and breathing problems in what seems to have been an allergic reaction and possibly triggered the above problems.
I am now on Claritin (10mg), Lexapro (5mg) and Aciphex which together brought relief to stomach pain within hours.
Cardiologist sees no Eosinophilic infiltration or Loeffler’s.
Repeated Endoscopies show no problems. I am negative for Eosinophilic Gastroenteritis.
So what exactly is nonspecific colitis? How is it treated? Can it cause arthritis pain in back, wrists, knees, ankles, and fingers?
Had sigmoidoscopy which showed inflammation in rectum sigmoid and descending colon. Had therapy with 3.6g 5-ASA daily. Blood stopped in day 2. Had a complete colonoscopy with intubation of the terminal ileum in July and everything was normal except a mild proctitis. If it was Crohn's disease, would my terminal ileum or cecum appear fine with 5-asa therapy?
The cost of a radio frequency ablation in the United States can run from around $2,000in facilities that only specialise in this procedure to around $3,000 elswhere. It is my understanding that medical procedures in India can be as much as 70% less than the same treatment in the US which would make this procedure the equivalent of between $140 and $210 in India if what I have read is true.
I hope this helps!
Six years ago he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, and it extended from inside his rectum all the way up and around the first bend in his colon. He never took medication for it, because he's hardheaded - but he smokes, and the nicotine had kept him from ever having any flare-ups. Today he had a follow-up colonoscopy, and the doctor seemed very shocked to find that my husband has absolutely NO signs of ever having the ulcerative colitis.
