Has anyone tried the liquid mesalasine enemas. I have tried the foam enemas and they made me flare up. Have the liquid ones been effective for anyone

    Tina, just want to make sure you realize I have been talking about MesalaMine NOT MesalaZine or MesalaSine

    Then one I used is with a M....MesalaMine

    Looks like MesalaMine and MesalaZine are interchangeable names, just different brands. Of course different brands may have different preservatives, fillers, etc..

    I used generic Mesalamine, called PERRIGO, manufactured in Israel. This is the brand my friend used as well. Coincidentally, Jewish folks have a high rate of Crohn's, UC, IBD, etc...

    Internet indicates doesn't mix well with NSAID meds
