My allergies have been really bad so I have been taking alavert-d. Has anyone had bowel movements problems from it? I have been doing canasa now for a week and at first the stools are tiny balls with blood and then normal. So I dont know if its from the allergy meds or canasa? I cannot do rowasa cant hold it in.

It's probably the Canasa.

Do I stop it or continue? I just took a cultrelle to see if that will help.

How long have you been on the Canasa nightly?
Sounds like a flare to me, low rectal inflammation.

The alavert-D shouldn't cause the problem, unless it's drying you out a lot.

I was very very pluggy and probably dried up alot. I started it 5 days ago, but the allergy problem was for 2 weeks prior. I started a probiotic for the 1st time last night too see if that will help.

I would continue the canasa and see how you do.
Make sure you're taking in enough fluid throughout the day.

is intrecellular calcium taken orally...and why are you using that?

what is the 4000 ic calcium which you have listed in your signature...or do you mean IU as in international units? I know vitamin D is in IU dosages and calcium in mg. Just clarifying. IC usually means intracellular.

sorry about my confusion.
