I have been diagnosed with Ulceritive Colitis as well. I am about to be put on 30mg of prednisone and am terrified of these effects. I've gathered a lot of useful information from this forum and am thankful for that. Imuran, azothioprine, and remecade seem to be the most successful drugs as alternatives to prednisone. I'll ask my doctor about all three and hopefully I can avoid the prednisone. I'll be sure to post my results soon.

Hi, I'd suggest that you take a look at:

It has lots of useful information, including on UC as well. Good luck, and if at all possible, avoid prednisone as corticosteroids' side effects are many and far-reaching.
