Stool has white balls in it

[BLM]

Hey everyone, feeling ok today....but super low on energy and fatigued...nothin new. I have a question, and pardon my descriptives....I have been on Entocort for about 3 months now...and Pentasa too. For the last couple of days Ive noticed my stool to have all these little white balls in it...Im guessing the medication. Does anyone else experience this?? Could it be my body not absorping the meds?? Today Im having more D than the last few days....its really been on and off....any input is great....thanks guys~

My experience is the little white balls are from the Pentasa. I was on Pentasa for 3 years previously and on it again now. I call it my little BB pills because the little white balls make me think of little BB's. I'm just curious as to why they have us avoid seeds yet give us meds that are full of these little balls. As for the D, can't help you there. I go back an forth from D to C on a regular basis, so if you get a good answer to that one, it'll help me, too.

i have found this with pentasa too very recently and was wondering too if it meant they were not being absorbed and therefore not doing much good

over here our Pentasa is in tablet form, not in capsules with balls in!
lots of people have mentioned their poo pebbledashed with Pentasa, it's a slow release med, but it does get absorbed.
