Question: I'm an ulcerative colitis patient. Right now the disease is not active though I have loose stools still. So the doctor has put me on Normaxin. But I feel it is not helping me.

Hello Doctor, I am 41 years old and a female. Was diagnosed with UC in 2012 after sigmoidoscopy. Then in XXXXXXX 2013, my gastroenterologist did a colonoscopy.
I have been on Mesacol OD and Azoran 50mg twice daily along with Prednisolone since 2012. Whenever the steroid was tapered to less than 10 mg, the disease flairs up and I was again put on high dose of steroid. But at the beginning of this year when the steroids were tapered, I was feeling okay and so slowly at the beginning of XXXXXXX I stopped steroids completelety( after having taken it for 3 years) although the other two tablets still continue. went through withdrawal symptoms for a month with fever, joint pains, headache, etc.But of late, since a week and a half, I started loose stools and my doctor prescribed Normaxin twice daily before food. But it has not helped me. So what should be done now.
