Reply to "Canasa suppositories"

I have chronic cuffitis and chronic pouchitis and IPS.  I use Canassa at least 5 days a week and when things are more inflamed also use Anucort making 2 suppositories in a day.  I find it hard to manage and use them when I feel I can leave them in for 3 hours but sometimes it's difficult.  That is why it is important that I use Canasa so often.  My GI initially said to use Canasa daily and the Anucort when needed too.  He said that many people stay in remission for a long time but that at that time he had patients that needed to use them several times a week to avoid flareups.  I ended up in that category.  My cuffitis is now more like pouchitis in that I haven't have bleeding in a long time.  I am now also rotating antibiotics and probiotics.  

 

We each have to find what works for us and it is difficult.  It's taken me over 4 years and a lot of pain to get some kind of regular routine that minimizes the inflammation in my entire j-pouch.

 

As Jan said, mine are 1,000 strength.
