Entocort side effects

[kllyeve]

Ok I looked them up but I can't find what I am experiencing.

The last 3 days I have been experiencing a small BM every time I go to the bathroom - not D - just waaaay more often than I am used to. I tend to constipation and once a week is usually cause for celebration.

I have been on enotocort about a month and a half(9mg per day) I have a moderate level stricture and Crohn's in the terminal ileum. So does this mean the entocort is working and the inflamation is decreasing allowing more movement of things? Or is this some other wierd new thing? I see the GI on Aug 26 - so will definately be asking her.

I'm on the same dose and started a few days ago. Same thing is happening to me where I don't have diarrhea but I go often with smaller amounts. Its fully formed so that's what matters to me but maybe it is a sign of slight constipation. Not sure though. I suggest we both tell our GI along with increasing our fluid intake in case it is constipation.
