Ulcerative Colitis
"After years of being told I had IBS-D and it was all in my head, I was finally diagnosed as having UC.  I was so sick at that point I was considering going on disability.  After two weeks of Lialda, I started to improve and soon could live somewhat of a normal life, although with a very restricted diet.  A routine blood test 11 months later showed that my kidneys had been damaged by this anti-inflammatory.  I got off Lialda immediately but four months later my creatinine level is still too high.  I never had any kidney trouble before taking Lialda."
