Reply to "J-pouch and crohns - best/worse food?"

Hi!

I had to stop humira after just 4 months. Not due to side effects (I didn’t notice any) but because I immediately started to produce antibodies. So humira didn’t have any effect on me.

Have used cipeoxin, entocort and cortisone and at last the inflammation has calmed down. The doctors would now like to see how long it takes before I get worse again. And then they will consider starting up with remicade (or similar medication). 

Wishing you you all the best. I believe Humira really helps many, but unfortunately not all. I was worried about side effects and especially cancer related ones. I had cancer colon 25 years ago but felt that the medication was safe for me now. And that the possible side effects of the medication where less frightening than the side effects of having a very active inflammation.

So far I still cannot find a clear connection between what I eat and how I feel. My doctors advised me to think that what is healthy for other not necessarily is healthy to me ;-) So low fibre bread, not too much vegetables and fresh fruits seems to work for me. 

good luck 👊🏼

Best regards,

Cath
