I'm 21 F. diagnosed with UC 8/09 after two moderate flare ups.. was on cripo/ flagal and sulfasalazine .... all 3 pills 3 times daily.. then that switched to asacol 9 pills a day.. helped out withe bathroom trips almost too much, to where I'd go 2 days without one.. so went down to 6 pills a day, then had a mild flare and now back to 9 pills a day. my GI has me on a high fiber diet... Overall I like the Asacol, but hasn't done much for my body & joint aches. Been on it for almost 8 months and have gained 35lbs.. not sure if its directly linked, but has been a major concern for me!! How is it doing for you? is it working??? i hope so!!
