I am on my 3rd infusion of Entivio (Nov 30th/21) AND scheduled for my 4th Jan.30/22. I have lost 99.9% of my thick curly hair! I have Crohn's. Is the hair loss due to infusions or Crohn's or BOTH?? HELP NO ONE KNOWS the answer not even my GI! Will my hair ever grow back? Anyone else out there have the same problem?? Thanks.

Hi Meeshka, you're not alone. I moved your question about Entyvio and hair loss so you can connect with other members like @sandyjr @dval @ginam @mollys10 @buchansd @ladaarts.

Here's a study that may offer some explanation.
- Frequency and associated factors of hair loss among patients with inflammatory bowel disease: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4284339/

How long have you had Crohn's?
