Hi everyone, not sure if this is the right place, earlier in the year, suddenly I started to experience frequent bowel movements, some very loose, also had a few accidents, and couldn't go out unless there was a toilet handy, so went to my GP who sent me for a colonoscopy, they found a large polyp which was removed in another procedure 2 weeks later,( was precancerous) the GI told me that I also had Crohn's Colitis in the lower part of my bowel.
My GI put me on Pentasa 1g 3 times a day, which seems to have cleared things up, only having 1 bowel movement a day, or sometimes 2 but now living pretty normal, after taking the Pentasa for the last 2 months I am experiencing hair loss and joint pain, is this normal side effects?
Regards Mal.
