Advice & Tips
This treatment works best for me in a mild to moderate flare. If I'm in a severe flare, in won't stay in as I have to make too many trips to the bathroom. I have mild morning blood on my tissue. When this clears up, I'll stop using this drug.

Asacol simply doesn't work for me. Never has. It seemed to have no effect at all. That includes side effects.

Advice & Tips
I took Asacol for over a year and in that time I tricked myself into thinking it was working, or at least, it was better than nothing. After 1 year, I experienced severe flu including chills, throwing up, fainting, anemia, etc. while on this treatment so I stopped taking it.
