For Ulcerative Colitis "Been using Balsalazide 3x3 for 9 years or so, with occasional flare-ups I could resolve with slight overdosing. Could not resolve the present flare-up. After a month of 4 bowel motions a day, blood, diarrhea, the doc started me on Uceris. Next day, change to 1 bowel motion, no blood, slight diarrhea. Now, 1 week later, pretty normal 1 bowel motion per day, with occasional nausea in the abdomen. I think pretty good for a week. But the price is outrageous, and even my copay is $75 a month. Doc insists on giving it to me for 3 months."

For Ulcerative Colitis, Active "I’ve been using this for almost 2 weeks, 2 times a day. Will continue for 4 more weeks, once a day. Diagnosed with UC 15 months ago; was in remission 8 months and then daily bleeding and pain for the past 5 months. CANASA hasn’t worked; hydrocortisone suppositories have not worked, and so far, the Uceris foam seems to have reduced the number of trips to the bathroom, but still active daily bleeding. Hoping that the next 4 weeks will show that this is effective. Terrified of taking biologics, which would be the next step... 61-year-old female who was in perfect health prior to UC."

For Ulcerative Colitis, Active "I’ve battled this illness off and on for 16 years and have pretty much tried it all. I’m usually in full remission when I’m just on Remicade and Lialda (unsure how effective this really is), but I recently was forced to postpone my scheduled bi-monthly Remicade and promptly fell ill. I was able to get the Remicade at about week 11, but by then was in a full-blown flare, so it didn’t throw me back into full remission as I was still bleeding, had rectal pain, and frequent trips to the bathroom. I was prescribed this foam, and within 2 days noticed a substantial improvement without all the side effects of oral steroids like prednisone (horrible drug). Highly recommend this if your pain and inflammation is in your rectum/sigmoid. You can ask for lidocaine lubricant too to apply on the applicator for peace of mind."

For Ulcerative Colitis, Active "Had bleeding, diarrhea, frequent trips to the bathroom... Started to notice a difference within a day and a half of taking this. Not as many bathroom trips... actually starting to feel normal again."
