Ulcerative Colitis, Active
"I was diagnosed with moderate to severe ulcerative colitis in 2008.  I&rsquo;ve been on all kinds of medication including asacol, 6mp, remicade, humira, prednisone, amitriptyline, Lialada and others.  I also had surgery to remove my gallbladder due to stones - which I regret now since I don&rsquo;t think made any difference with the BMs and bleeding.

I finally had good results with Lialda.  I used to take 4 pills a day but managed to ween down to 2.  I also realized that part of the healing process came from Spiritual healing and mental attitude.  The stress from a job played a major role in my flare ups.  Prayer helped me spiritually which in turn helped me with my mind, which then helped with my gut alongside Lialda and a less stressful job."
