Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Your doctor is right apart from nausea cimzia can not cause these side effects you mentioned. These are bowel functions decline likely due to age factor. I would suggest compliance to medications, use of laxatives, fibrous diet, adequate fluids intake, good bowel habits and see if it helps. Small frequent meals, yogurt with peppermint will help.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
