I HAD ULCERATIVE COLITIS FOR 16 YEARS. ASACOL WAS ONE OF THE MEDICATIONS PRESCRIBED TO ME. IT WORKS FOR SOME PEOPLE AND SOME IT DOES NOT. IT WORKED FOR ME FOR A WHILE. I ENDED UP HAVING A COLECTOMY BECAUSE I WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE MEDICATIONS THEY WERE PRESCRIBING. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE. IF IT WORKS FOR YOU THAT WOULD BE A BONUS. I HOPE YOU ARE SEEING A DOCTOR WHO IS UP ON THE LATEST RESEARCH. I AM STILL GOING TO THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO AND SEEING DR HURST (MY SURGEON) AND DR HANAUER. THEY ARE AMONG THE LEADERS IN THE WORLD ON RESEARCH AND SURGERIES. IF YOU CAN TRY TO GO AND SEE THEM. THEY ARE TRULY THE FRONT RUNNERS IN THEIR FIELD. ASK ANYONE INCLUDING YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT THEM. ULCERATIVE COLITIS IS A PAIN IN THE YOU KNOW WHAT, BUT THERE IS HOPE. GOOD LUCK
