How long did it take for Asacol or equivalent to work?

I was put back on Asacol last week and am wondering how long it takes to work. Thanks

If it's going to work for you, you should notice some improvement within 2 to 4 weeks, but occasionally it takes longer, and some people see results sooner. We all respond somewhat differently to the various meds used to treat this disease.

Mine started immediately. Stopped the D dead in its tracks...Monique

It didn't help me. After I went GF, my D returned and it made my hair fall out.

It slowed my D down but didn't take it away completely. I had to also go entercort which then helped tremendously. I gained a lot of weight on it, but need it because I had lost so much when I first got sick.

Good luck,
Robin

Hi, It made me worse. See if you can get entocort.

It sure didn't work for me and the doc had me up to 16 tabs per day. Entocort worked but I had some really bad side effects from it. Diet is trying to do it for me.

Love, Maggie
