Reply to "Cuffitis diagnosis"

Hi, @AliceMay. Have you tried rectal mesalamine, such as Canasa suppositories or by enema? It can take a while to work, but if you respond well to that you might be able to taper the prednisolone successfully. I’d much rather have mesalamine side effects than prednisolone. If you really do continue to need steroids long-term you would likely have fewer side effects with budesonide (Uceris rectal) than prednisolone. The drug brand names may be different in the UK.

The surgical treatment for cuffitis is pouch advancement surgery.
