Biologics (humira) and food intolerance

I've been diagnosed with Peripheral Spondyloarthritis and was wondering if anyone who started a biologic has noticed any improvements in their gut health.

I've had severe gut problems for the last 9 years, and am hoping that the biologic I'm starting in a few weeks could potentially help. I have so many food sensitivities and have tried everything.

Not looking for gut health suggestions, just people's own experiences with a biologic ๐Ÿ˜€

Cheers!

    I do hope others will join the conversation and share their experiences. I will say each individual reacts differently to treatment.
    Although this may not answer your question, it's important to note that people with axSpA/Spondyloarthritis are more likely to get inflammatory bowel disease than those without it. In addition, gut issues are fairly uncommon with biologics. ~Doreen (Team Member)

      1. , Yes, my gut symptoms definitely improved with Cosentyx. I still have to take probiotics, but I figure that is a small issue. Also I stopped gluten. Huge change. Good luck!!! LisaWy

          We're glad to hear that Cosentyx (as well as probiotics and dietary changes) have made a difference for you.
