I have had no hair loss with Entyvio. No side effects @ all and I'm in remission. Still have abdominal discomfort after I eat. Don't eat that much but feel terribly full. Won't go away w/out walking. I'm getting bunion surgery so that will drive me crazy! Pray I get thru all this! Maria.

Hi Maria! So glad you’re in remission on the Entyvio! How long have you taken it and how long before you were in remission? I’ve been on it for 14 months for ulcerative colitis. Within a year of diagnosis, I went from oral mesalamine to both oral and rectal budesonide to prednisone and finally when the UC became “fulminant” I agreed to try a biologic. My GI doc highly recommended Entyvio and it worked relatively quickly, within a couple weeks of the loading doses. I have a lot of fatigue several days after each infusion and the past few months, a lot of respiratory mucus, which is annoying. I walk a lot too and believe that keeps some of the side effects at bay, including that full feeling after eating. My annual colonoscopy a couple months ago showed “significant improvement in the mucosal lining” and my C-reactive protein and cal protection numbers have been within normal ranges for about 9 months. So far so good, but this cough/mucus is the worst.... Please share anything you can about your experience with Entyvio, and good luck with the bunion surgery! Thanks so much! D
