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.

How long have you had Crohn's?

Hi Colleen, and thank you for your reply. I was just diagnosed this August/21 w/Crohn's but according to the colonoscopy the GI estimates it has been ongoing for some time how long?? I don't know, but this just did  not happen overnight. I had a very thick curly hair which I am missing so much now. My hair loss seemed to have started after a month on the budesonide, then declined steadily even after my infusions.( I am off the budesonide now and only on the infusions every 2 mths) I had stage 4 anemia that was corrected, and am taking probiotics, and organic vitamins/minerals etc. hopefully in time my hair will start to grow back. I was curious if there was anyone else out there going this?? 
Sincerely,Michele
