"I've used both the Salofalk foam and the liquid Salofalk enema and recommend trying this if you are struggling. It takes longer to administer but is easier to keep in. If you're having issues with the foam, I recommend the following: - Make sure to release the foam slowly. It's less of a shock to the system and helps reduce that reflex muscle action that makes you want to evacuate it. - Wait at least 30 seconds before the second dose, otherwise, you just feel too full when the second dose is released. - After the second dose, don't withdraw the nozzle immediately. Wait at least 30 seconds. When you withdraw it, do so as fast as possible. This stops any residual foam from coming into contact with (for want of a better word) your anus and causing a burning sensation. - Finally, it doesn't say this on the foam instructions, consider lying on your left side for 30 minutes after your treatment. This helps the foam get to where it needs to go and makes it easier to keep in. Hope this helps someone and good luck!"

"I have been on Salofalk since I was diagnosed with UC 18 months ago. Over that time, I've had about 8 courses of prednisone. Every time I come off prednisone and rely solely on Salofalk, I get another flare. I'm currently on 1500 mg/day of Salofalk. Even after being hospitalized and pumped full of steroids, which resulted in no symptoms (and normal bowel movements - YAY!), the Salofalk couldn't keep me there :("

"Lived in Australia for 2 years and switched to Salofalk from Asacol. It worked great, and I had no side effects."
