2nd remicade infusion a couple days ago, having symptoms again.

I started remicade on october 1st. Everything went smooth. Didn't feel any side effects or anything. I wasn't in a bad flare, pretty mild but my gi wanted me to start since 125mg 6mp & asacol weren't helping me much anymore. Right away my stools were formed solid going once a day (ahh it's nice to feel regular again). Did my 2nd infusion a couple days ago and since then my stools are softer/broken & going 2-3 times a day. I'm going to go back to my strict diet & start using enemas more. I feel like this is the last straw though. Id rather have surgery than deal with flares & take all these meds. If i'm not going to see a solid remission, what's the point?

I've been on 6mp for years, my gi said they should work together. My gi said I didn't need asacol anymore so I stopped that when i started remicade. I know I need to be patient and be positive hah.

When I started Remi, I didn't have a problem going off of Asacol right away but I'd check with your doctor and tell him what your symptoms are now. Maybe they can catch the symptoms of loose stools quickly and treat it so you can carry on with the Remicade. I do remember someone who used enemas in conjunction with the Remicade to get him over the "hump" before his next treatment, and he finally gained remission after about six months. Good luck!
