Does Intake Of Pro Harmones Lead To Diarrhea?
I just had a j pouch surgery for ulcerative colitis about 2 months ago and the amount of stools were starting to go down but now I have started taking a pro hormone and the amount is going way up. Do pro hormones cause you to have loose stools? And are they the reason I have to go to the bathroom more?

Hi,
Please mention the exact name of drug your are taking. Pro hormone is a broad category, and includes many drugs. Whether the bowel changes can be attributed to drug or not, depends on the exact drug. Meanwhile, avoid too much fiber and sugary items in diet to decrease stool output.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
