Undigested asacol

[Guest guest]

My son just informed me today that sometimes when he uses the

restroom, he ses that there is a whole caplet of asacol in the feces,

ie undigested. he used to be on 2 caps 3x/day but the afternoon dose

was problem, sometimes taken as late as 8-9 pm since he doesn't carry

it to school. He informed the doctor at his last visit in Sept (not

his regualr GI) and was told he could take it 3 caps 2x/day and that

is what he is doing now. My son doesn't remember when that started and

I believe it is not with every bathroom visit. He normally averages

one-two visits a day but usually when he has to goa second time, it is

loose. I have just sent an email to his doctor to ask why he is losing

asacol in the feces but would appreciate if anyone has any ideas or

views on this.

Thanks.
