Hi,
I was warned of this problem when I first started taking Asacol. If you have to go to the bathroom a lot the pills may not have time to dissolve in the digestive tract as they are designed to do. I would check with the docs but it should stop happening when the trips to the bathroom slow down. Maybe you could ask about asacol suppositories until he is feeling better and the pills stop coming out. Hope that helps.

All had been going well. Lately, however, he has been feeling sluggish
and has been going to the bathroom more frequently. After a recent
bowel movement, he found an undisolved azacol in his stool.
Has anyone had a similar problem where their pills simply went
straight through them?
Thanks for your thoughts.
