Hi, yes this asacol is wonder drug, my 26 year old son has IBD, they are
not sure at this point if it is ulcerative colitis or Crohns disesae as
my sister has crohns! He has taken the Asacol for almost 6 years and NO
FLAREUPS so far! He has been in remission for years but was very ill
when he was diagnosed, I worry about him daily as my 38 year old sister
has a permanent colostomy! I will keep you in my prayers!
