"Diagnosed with UC at 21/22 years old. As disease progressed, updated diagnosis to Crohn's Disease. Daily dosages of Asacol HD 800 since medication manufactured. 2021-2022 medication difficult to locate. Recently without medication for 14 days and Crohn's symptoms started to appear sending me between bathroom and bed. Ate baby food. Obtained medication on 15th day and symptoms subsided. Now, eating normally within one week. Dosage 3x day without food. Crohn's into remission as medication stops inflammation."

"Diagnosed with Crohn's at 42. Took Asacol till a couple years ago. It was no longer available. Now on Asacol HD. Works well and no flares in 2 years. Price is expensive. Our insurance just sent us a letter they will no longer cover it starting next month. Gastro doc will be switching me to another name brand (Lialda). I hope it works the same!"

"I use to be on Asacol 400mg, but they stopped making or something. So, I've been on Asacol HD 800mg for about a year. I think it's the best for me, because I really haven't had any severe or major side effects from the medicine. It is doing the job it is supposed to do. I've been taking Asacol for over 20 years. Never had to try anything else, but for some reason they want me to try Imuran, and I don't like what the reviews are saying about it. Like they say, if it's not broke don't fix it. Overall, I've had some flares over the 20 yrs., but nothing is worth me having to get use to another medicine."
