Thank you Scott and J.Hendrix I think your correct Scott the Mesalamine didn't do much and I'm going to increase my dose of Metamucil . Like J I believe that 6 - 8 times a day is my norm . Spoke with my GI Dr. on Friday she wants me to do a week or two of the Mesalamine suppository and let her know if it decreased to 4 times per day . I don't see that happening and I don't understand why she feels that's is inportant. I really believe that 6-8 is reallly good for me considering I only have had my J pouch 15 months or am I just being wishful. Next time I speak to her I'll ask her why she doesn't prescribe the Cipro or Flagyl. Thank you both for your input . It truly helps talking to people who know and understand what I'm talking about and what I'm going through . Take care all , stay safe and be well . I appreciate all your inputs 😊
