Medicine not working

Hello Everyone,
As you know I was prescribed Asacol & a probiotic for my Ulcerative Colitis. Well, it seems since I've been taking it that I am getting worse! I am having attacks after every meal and I am finding hard to eat anymore because I know what it's going to do to me. Anyone have a similar problem with Asacol? I DON'T want to be put on a steriod medication at all! I am going to my doctor tomorrow, you think he'll change my medication.. or is this normal with Asacol?


I have read that if you are having some problems with this drug
Hey Savvy!!
Sorry to hear that you are having problems.
Hey Lynn,
I went yesterday and he put me on Colazal and Prednisone. I told him I wouldn't take the steriod and he convinced me too.. but after I researched it on the internet I decieded I am not going to get it or take it! I was taking 3 Asacol 3 times a day and I have had flare ups all week. Last night I was up every hour. I am just so depressed and I will not take the steriod. I really hope the other medication works! Pray for me!!
Hugs!
