Do you take Omeprazole? I take 40 mg. Do you have a gastroenterologist? Ask him. I am an amateur. I need a Phillips milk of magnesia caplet for constipation. Good luck!
Diagnosed Dec 27, 2016 started Sprycel 100 mg Jan 7, 2017. Initial PCR 77.9 after 30 days 28.4, day 79 1.4 and day 115 0.1%. That is a 99.9% reduction! Sprycel 100 mg for 3 months, 80 mg for 1 month and now at 50 mg. Hooray for Sprycel!!! PCR June 5, 2017 0.04! Dose reduction to 40 mg 6/15/2017 due to shortness of breath. 20 mg as of June 29th. PCR .02 9/11/2017. PCR .015 IS as of 12/11/2017. Lungs substantially better. Low dose Sprycel works!

Adverse Effect - At about week 6 of Sprycel sharp muscle pain that would start at 2 AM and last for about 4 hours. This lasted about 4 weeks and went away, thank goodness.

Dasatinib (Sprycel) is not normally a cause of bowel issues.  But we are all different and it could be related in your case.  But I would look into other possibilities with your doctor just to be safe.

Aymansgham,

 

I also have cyclical stool issues with Sprycel. It's not diarrhea exactly, but I have found that adding bulk, like metamucil, does help.

 

Good luck!

I also have cyclical diarrhea with Sprycel.  I'm on 100mg and for the last month it has been terrible.  Last year I had a colonoscopy and the Dr. mentioned that the reason for my issues was definitely Sprycel.  Just today I started taking Kefir in hopes that it will help.

I had bad nausea with Gleevec that got alot better when I took it an hour after dinner instead of with dinner.  Hasn't affected MMR.  Not the same problem but you might want to try it. 


Diagnosed 3/2014 WBC 28 Non detectable within 3 monthsGleevec 400 mg 5/2014 one hour after dinner really improves nausea300 mg 12/15/2016200 mg and 300 mg Gleevec 2/25/2017 (after 3 years on Gleevec) For last four months taking 300 mg per day. Last CMC showed liver enzymes elevated, went to a good Naturopath and he recommended 4 Tumeric, 10,000 mg Vitamen D, and 3 milk thistle (silymarin) daily. Also use One<p>Day Detox Dandeloin tea, and Nettle Tea and a slice of ginger every day...in two months liver tests were below normal.Janis
