Side effects Entocort Taper

Hi everyone-

I was wondering if anyone experienced any side effects of constipation from the entocort taper. It is strange but as I started going down to 3,2,3,2 I notice on the days on 2 that I can't go to the bathroom.

Thanks

Hi, I was on Entocort for quite awhile but I never experienced a side effect like that - pretty much the opposite for me, when I tried to taper but my body wasn't ready for it, the diarrhea came right back for me. Do you tend to have constipation rather than diarrhea? I would mention it to your doctor and see what they have to say. Is the constipation painful? Are you getting other symptoms like cramping or nausea?
