I'm pretty sure it is related. I have read some info. on it and doctors suspect that people with HS do also have some form of IBS or other related issues. I know that I have Bile Acid Malnutrition (BAM). It started out as IBS-C and then a year later BAM formed.

Yes I have IBS and some Colitis twice in a year. I think it's from my infusion.

It sounds like you're asking about digestive or bowel issues, which can be related to conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Here are some relevant points from my knowledge base:

- Symptoms of IBD: Persistent diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating from gas, bloody stool, weight loss

It sounds like you're asking about digestive or bowel issues, which can be related to conditions like Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Here are some relevant points from my knowledge base:

- Symptoms of IBD: Persistent diarrhea or constipation, abdominal pain, nausea, bloating from gas, bloody stool, weight loss.
- Connection to HS: Both HS and IBD are inflammatory diseases caused by an overactive immune system.
- Common Symptoms: Pain, swelling, discharge, and itching are common in perianal HS.

If you're experiencing these symptoms, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I didn't know it could be related, but maybe it is. I had Colitis for a couple years, then a Dermatologist prescribed me Doxycycline for 5 months because I was having a knee replacement.....took it 2 months before and 3 months after. It got rid of my Colitis???
