Changing remicaid dosage

For the past year and a half I've been on a regular remicaid regimen, getting an infusion every eight weeks. For the most part it's been going pretty well, occasionally some cramps b/f an infusion but otherwise in remission. This 'cycle' however, I've been experiencing bad stomach pains, diarrhea and fatigue. I was wondering if anyone has had any success changing their dose. I should note that I've gained almost 80 lbs over the past year or so.
Thanks!

Yes, I had my dosage changed about two years ago because it wasn't effective anymore. I was on the standard 5 mg/kg every 8 weeks. I'm now at 10 mg/kg every 6 weeks. However, they should also increase the amount that you get based on your weight - do they weigh you at every appointment before they mix yours up? Also, it might be worth getting a stool sample to make sure it isn't something else, like salmonella.

If your vitamin D and vitamin B are low, that can also cause fatigue. It's common for those to be low for Crohnies as well. I'd just pick up some OTC vitamins and try taking those. I also take a multi-vitamin (gummies because the pills make me nauseated) and that helps as well.

I don't know how much you exercise (it's hard with the fatigue!) but I've found that walking helps me with energy. When I first started, I literally could only walk a block and then come home. And it was more exhausting the first few weeks of it, but overall it helps me have more energy rather than less. That's why I walk, not run or lift or anything. Very, very light cardio.
