First of all you need to have chronic long term inflammation in the Pouch before treatment with any biological drug is warranted. Usually antibiotics are attempted before biological drugs so you seem to possibly be jumping the gun here.

Second, if so, it would be the GI’s call as to whether to use Remicade or not. Either it worked or It didn’t and you developed antibodies or you did not. Usually when antibodies are developed it’s not a mystery to the patient or the doctor. The second biological drug favored by my GI for Pouch patients is Entyvio. So if you did develop antibodies to Remicade they would probably try Entyvio second.

Again, the treatment modalities are usually antibiotics first and biological drugs second. There are various options in biological drugs if antibodies or reactions are experienced.
