    I've never used the foam enemas, but the liquid Rowasa brand mesalamine enemas worked well for me. I'm a big fan of enemas because they go directly on the area of inflammation. Suppositories don't go far enough into the area of inflammation. Also, it sounds a little crazy, but it also helps to wear an adult diaper after applying the enema before bed. This will give you the 'confidence' that you won't mess up your sheets during the night. -Thanks for sharing another informative video!

    I’ve been on both along with Uceris(Buedesonide) Foam. I had the same response regarding getting immediately panicky and stressed and not able to sleep lol.

    Hey mate, I’ve been diagnosed almost a year now and have taken these foams practically every single night. I’m not sure how much they’ve worked for me as they’ve never made much of a difference to my flare ups but I have taken them anyway just in case they are. I did notice that with the smaller steroid foams, you don’t even feel it come out compared to the salofalk stuff. It just oozes out slowly and you have to hold it in longer not to waste any.
    I started Tofacitinib last week and I’ve really noticed a difference and things feel like they’re finally settling down after a nasty two month flare up that had no sign of going away with no intervention. I’m praying this medication continues to work as i am desperate for my life back. What’s your longest flare up?
    Thanks for the solid content - keep it up!

      Hey thanks for leaving a comment! It's hard to remember how long they lasted as it's happened over so many years. I would say maybe 4 or 5 months?

    Hi Jacob. I’ve been diagnosed since March 2020 but feel that I had colitis for 2 years prior to being diagnosed. I’ve tried mesalizine, infliximab, vedolizumab, ustekinumab biologics which didn’t work for me. For the last year I have been on Upadcitimib which worked and brought me into remission until recently where I am currently in a flare and been told to try the new advanced theory IV Mirikuzumab next week. Currently on no medication and I’m really bad. Have you heard anything positive about Mirikuzumab. I have never tried enemas or been prescribed these. I also don’t want to go back onto steroids as I suffer with horrendous side effects.

      Hey thanks for leaving a comment. I wil be honest I haven't heard from many people on Mirikuzumab, I hope it works well for you.
