Subject: degenerative arthritis

Question
What does degenerative disease have to do with intestinal problems

Answer
If you mean degenerative joint disease, or osteoarthritis, nothing that I know of.  However, having OA doesn't preclude you from having something else.  Or, even simpler, maybe what you're taking for the OA is messing with your intestines.  Talk to your doctor about it.
