Subject: Asacol and  breastfeeding

I am a pediatric nurse practitioner and have a question  concerning Asacol
and breastfeeding. I have a mother of a 2 week old who  has ulcerative
colitis and needs to go back on Asacol. How safe is it for  her to
breastfeed? Dr. Hale's book says it is moderately safe. Are there  any long
term studies on Asacol and breastfeeding. The pediatrician I work  with is
against her breastfeeding. Any  thoughts?



It is available in suppository form. May help in her circumstances  depending 
on location of ulcerations . I made dietary changes that also  
helped.Increased fiber - Eliminated corn, peanuts, milk. and was able to  stop all meds 
eventually.
