I am very saddened to hear about Tex's ordeal. I used to visit this board and post three years ago and again now with my recent nasty developments, and coming back, he was the one I wondered would still be here, lending support and insight and valuable information.

Hi all, saw the gastro yesterday and he prescribed Asacol, 2 of them 3 times a day. Horrified with what they cost. Don't know if I have read much good stuff about it, mostly read praises for $entocort$. Can anyone give me some hope? He said keep on it for a year. See him again in three months. Also,...
