I was diagnosed with UC in 2012 and was flare free between 2013 and Oct 2018. I had a flare in Nov 2018 and have not been in remission since then. The only thing that keeps me symptom free is Hydrocordisone Enema and a strick diet. Everything from Predisone, 6-MP, Remicade, Entyvio has failed. My GI doc has prescribed Tofa now (Xeljanz)

I dont know if it will work or if I need to take the enema for the rest of my life. I am 46 and hoping to be in remission (which has eluded me for the last 3 years)

Hello @trying1975 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. It is great to hear that you have found that diet and hydrocortisone enema keeps you symptom free.

Have you ever discussed this regimen with your doctor to see how you might be able to try to reduce the enema frequency as a start?
