Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi Felicia, I have been on Lialda for several months and it has helped me tremendously. I was diagnosed with UC last June or July after a colonoscopy and Prometheus blood test to differentiate from Crohn's. I had a very mild presentation--just rectal bleeding and mild gassiness. However, I didn't start on the Lialda right away and didn't follow SCD 100% until my symptoms seemed to increase--frequency, diarrhea. It took several months-approx 2 for all symptoms to go away--including the bleeding, which I understand from following this discussion group is the last symptom to go.I credit adherence to SCD with this speedy recovery as well, because I noticed immediate improvement when I started following it 100% and did not see immediate improvement with just medication alone.My next goal is to start decreasing the Lialda in a very slow way. I am tolerating the Lialda well with no side effects that I notice. My understanding is that it is a local effect and therefore, side effects are minimized. I also understand that it can take a minimum of 3 months to start seeing remission with Lialda. Best of luck, Terry To: BTVC-SCD From: riverdale_2@...Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 11:28:21 +0000Subject: Lialda and UC Has anyone had much success with Lialda for UC.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 No--I did not. It eliminated the gassiness I was experiencing as one of my UC symptoms. As I said before--I have no side effects that I notice and my bowels are normal, once a day, no bleeding and no discomfort at all.
