For Ulcerative Colitis, Active "This drug Uceris may have initially helped, but as time went (the 2nd week or earlier) on, it caused so much cramping, gas, bloating, pain, and throwing up each day with my urgent other reasons for trips to the bathroom (and I had to have a bucket on my lap while dealing with the aftermath on both ends, being violently ill). To have so much added pain to my already active flare was horrifying. I believe the time-release part of the drug is to blame, as I’ve taken budesonide in the form of Entocort prior with decent results. I know it works for some people, and that’s great, but others can’t tolerate the time release, which was toxic to me."

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 "I have had UC for over 20 years. Been on Remicade, Humira, Xeljanz, Asacol, prednisone. You name it, I tried it. I am now strictly on Lialda and have been in a flare for about a month. I was prescribed Uceris, and the problem I have is, since I have severe urgency, it is hard to keep the foam from wanting to come back out. My UC is in the lower colon, and I go to the bathroom between 10 and 20 times per day. It is very painful to try to hold in the foam. Suggestions?"
