Hi there Yes i am on rituximab and am having some bowel problems - now have had about my 8th set of infusions. Not pinned down what the problem is but the GP is currently in process of trying to get to the bottom it - ha!!

Guess we should probe around in the side-effects and evidence to see if we can find anything - although it'd be good to hear from others too

all the best

Hi Skippy, i dont wish to scare you but i would make sure you get yourself checked out. on the 20th aug 2013 i have ended up having a part of my bowel removed after my second infusion. i have never had problems with my bowel until i started this drug....... i now hav to live with a illeostomy if only my doctor had taken more notice of me. sooo plz get yourself checked x
