    Comment from: compromise, 55-64 Female on Treatment for 1-2 years (Patient)

    Rowasa is effective, stopping flares within a couple of days for me, but now my doc wants me to use it EVERY night! An enema every night. Oh, joy. That'll cramp your love life! He said I can use 1/2 the bottle, or can hold it in for only 15 minutes, if that is the most I am willing to do. I took Lialda for a year, and it caused more diarrhea. Just switched to Asacol. We'll see... Published: January 21, 2009 ::

    Comment from: 35-44 Male on Treatment for less than 1 month (Caregiver)

    I have crohn's and have has a complete colonectemy...My crohns is mainly centered near my rectum in what is now small bowel. Have been using the Rowasa for 12 days. Symptoms seem to be getting worse. Whats more is with my bowel issues, I cant hold this in for more than about 15 min on average..so I dont know how much it can affect me. When first diagnosed I was o Asacol..after nine months of misery, it was discontinued, and stated that it was making my symptoms worse...so I dont know if Rowasa is really going to work...but I am also currently taking Pentassa..so who knows.
