Ulcerative Colitis, Active
"My doctor switched me from Asacol (which was working very well) to Lialda and the results were horrible.  When I started having bad flare ups my gastroenterologist had no clue what do do.  She put me on Remicade over 16 months with no results and I was miserable.  When I suggested that perhaps it was the Lialda that was causing the problems she stated that that was &quot;not likely&quot;.  Well, after about two years of misery and being back on steroids, I switched doctors - a guy who came highly recommended. After a heart to heart consultation with him, he stated he had some patients who did not do well with Lialda and decided to take me off that medication immediately. Within three weeks I was off steroids, back to using Asacol and life is now okay."
