Reply to "Did you guys try Biologics like Remicade or Humira before J-pouch?"

I was also given one dose of Remicade before surgery as a last ditch effort to save my pouch.  My GI at the time said it was a miracle that could put me in remission.  Needless to say it didn't work as he intended and I had j pouch surgery a week later.  (This is also the GI who said I'd be cured after surgery and therefore pretty much ditched me after surgery.)

That was in 2006.  Hopefully, more GI's are informed about the proper way of administering it. (I was put on Remicade a couple of years ago and had a bad reaction to it.  Perhaps it is due to this one dose given 14 years ago.)

 

 

That was wrong for him to ditch you- that is pretty tacky, mine did the same thing after my surgery too. Hopefully the world gets better doctors. I am happy that you are okay now though,
