Please help have been on asacol for 5 weeks now. Feel worse joint pain in the knees hands and feet. Having headaches and still major issues with diarrhea?? Any suggestions??
 
Hi.. maybe it's whatever you ate(not just today, perhaps yesterday, or sometime recently. i kept a daily log of my eating, that's how I determined what foods I can and can't eat. it is difficult, and you can't compare your eating with someone else eating. Example: My friend has Crohn's disease she can;t eat cranberries, pomengranite, wheat and a few other things. I can't eat popcorn, nuts, spicey food or red meat(and still learning what my body rejects) As far as yoyr aching joints try light excercise, i do squats for my knees and arm circles for my shoulders. i am currently taking pentase 500 mg 8 oills a day, maybe ask your Dr if you can try this medication if these suggesstions don't work for you. Hope you feel better!!
