 5  ulcerative colitis/proctitis None. When first diagnosed I was also prescribed canasa (a rectal suppository) for about a month. I have been on Lialda for 1 year and it's been wonderful. Not one flare up. No blood. No mucus. It's been wonderful. I take 2.4 mg a dag (2 pills). It is a VERY EXPENSIVE drug so shop around. Costco had the best prices. Join the Shire/Lialda website and get discounts. F 43 1 years

 4  Inflammatory bowl Gas....a lot! Since taking 4 Lialda pills a day, I now only have to use the bathroom 1 to 2 times a day. Normally, I was going 4-6 times a day! I work in surgery and this is a BIG problem! Now, if I can just do something about the gas! F 37 30 days

 5  UC None so far. I'm posting for my 20 1/2 yr old daughter Ash. She went from Remicade infusions every eight weeks to 4 pills of Lialda in the morning and it's working. Had to quit the Remicade due to the body developing antibodies to the mouse protein in Remicade. It was a godsend for 3 years. Good luck to all. F 20 2 months
