ulcerative colitis, maintenance
"I was diagnosed with UC when I was 20 years old.  I am now 64 so 44 years with this annoying condition.  Over the years I have been put on various medications but Asacol tablets along with occasional Asacol  foam enemas have kept me well.

I take 8 x 400mg tablets a day (4 first thing in the morning and 4 last thing at night), no side effects whatsoever.  I only need the foam enemas if I get a bit of mucous or that 'colitis feeling' and the enemas work within two or three days.  I use the enemas for a week though, to be on the safe side."
