Hi All,

Has anyone been on Canasa? I've been taking it for about 10 days now. I feel like the external inflammation from the ileitis is getting worse. I don't know if that is possible or not. I feel like I'm getting a yeast infection from it or something in that order. I go to the GI doc on Wed. I hope it is better till than.

Thanks for any info

Joan

Not me, I've never heard of it before until today....hope someone can respond with some helpful info for you...

Canasa AKA Mesalamine I personally have never taken it I had a friend that took it she said she took was on it for about 2-3 weeks before she noticed a difference and the problem was because she was experiencing so much diarrhea she was unable to hold the suppos. in long enough to get the proper effect...

yes i have taken rowasa it's the same depending on the manufacture the name, i didn't have any luck with it i used the supositories and the enimas, the burning could be from internal hemroids or depending on where your crohns is if its in the area the meds could be agervating it if you no what i mean
