Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate if retarded release phosphatidylcholine is an effective alternative to steroid dependent or -refractory course in chronic active ulcerative colitis

The hypothesis is that ulcerative colitis is caused by a barrier defect of the colonic mucus layer The background of the study is the finding that the phosophatidylcholine content of the colonic mucus is strongly reduced in ulcerative colitis UC compared to healthy controls and patients with Crohns disease The content was measured in non-inflamed areas of the colon in UC Thus we evaluate whether a substitution of colonic PC is an effective method for steroid dependent UC See Gut 2005 Jul547966-71 Stremmel et al
Detailed Description: Design Prospective randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded study

Population 60 patients with chronic active ulcerative colitis and steroid dependency

Inclusion Chronic active ulcerative colitis clinical index 5 or more endoscopic Index 5 or more steroid dependent course since at least 4 months

Main criteria complete steroid reduction
