Anthony Sharp –
For over 10 years, I am suffering from a condition called Crohn’s disease wherein there is an chronic inflammation in my digestive tract. It’s a chronic illness so I have to live with it for the rest of my life. But thankfully, the symptoms can be controlled and of all the medications I was prescribed with, Mesalamine was the only one that works for me long-term. I did experience some of the side effects such as an increase in flatulence but it just subsided on the 2nd week of taking it as my maintenance.
