Challenges with Imuran

Hey All:
New to the Crohns world. Was Diagnosed with celiac disease when I was 2 and I am glad that the gluten free thing is a trend now as the labeling is so much better now.
Picked up a Nasty case of the dam Lurgy.. (Lurgy being Crohns) a year ago and have tried many things.
Currently I am on Entocort and Imuran but am having side effects.
Wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with Imuran.
My Imuran side effects:
-Extreme Bloating (i look like i ate a watermelon )
-Sore shoulders and neck, and other joints
-Hair loss (Come on I dont have a lot of salad left up there)
Entocort:
-I got Fat.

Anyone else have similar issues.
Thanks
Greg

Biggest pet peev: there is no one crohns diet. everyone is different.
Things i miss the most: Salad. that stuff kills me..
Flare up Trigger: Stress.
 
Welcome. I have been on Imuran for years. I get bloated a lot. It seems like anything I take for it doesn't do much good. I miss salads too. Best to you.
