I suffer from proctitis, and this is what happens to me when I have a

flair up . For me it's definitely not constipation, but

inflamation . I take Canasa which is a form of mesalamine (which is

used for other forms of colitis in an enema which is overkill for

proctitis).

I've been much more " normal " on SCD... and don't have to take as much

of the anti-inflamitory eating this way (hooray... I'm uninsurable and

a refill costs around $500 for the meds).
