Re: Oral drugs vs supositories for UC?

I had problems with Canasa, but in my opinion a drug delivered to the 
problem, that doesn't go throughout your body is better.

While I hated oral steroids, the cortisone suppositories and enemas were 
very effective for me.  Again, different people have different results.

I had severe crohns colitis for about three years, but am currently 
without a serious problem for 4 years and am not taking any meds for 
three years.
