ulcerative colitis, active
"My doctor switched me from Acacol HD to Lialda after I lost my insurance and needed a less expensive substitute.  I was worried because I had grown accustomed to Asacol and did very well on that medicine.

After a few days of adjusting to Lialda, with no real problems or side effects (just a little gas during the first 48 hours), I feel fantastic on Lialda.  I've been on Lialda for about 5 months now, and feel as good, if not better than I did on Asacol. I have fewer headaches that I did on Asacol and feel great less stomach cramps.

Best of all, for me or anyone who is on the go during the day, I now take one Lialda tablet, twice daily (once in the morning, once at night). This is compared to two Asacol tablets THREE times daily."
