"I am 26 years old and have been battling with bad stomach problems for most of my life. I was diagnosed with ulcerative proctitis about four years ago. My doctor put me on Lialda, but I didn't stick with it. This past December, I had my first flare-up... it was awful. I lost 10 lbs and just felt sick all the time. I went back on Lialda (3 pills a day) in January. At first, I didn't feel any different, but then it really started working. It has been eight months and I feel like a normal person now. I still have the occasional stomach ache, but nothing abnormal! I feel great!"

"Before trying Lialda, I was taking Canasa, which was extremely helpful, however, it is a suppository. That was not pleasant, especially if I was going to have to continue taking that medication for the rest of my life! My doctor mentioned Lialda, so I started taking it. It has been just as effective as Canasa for me, and I have not had a flare-up in almost 3 years!"
