Reply to "New medicine for pouchitis"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

Hard to say. I feel great for a day or two after the infusion, but I cannot say if it is the Remicade or the IV hydrocortisone they give me as a pre-med. My arthritis is much better than not being on any biologic, but about the same as the other meds. I have not stopped the antibiotics yet, since I am still in the induction period of Remicade. That will be my true test of pouchitis efficacy, since antibiotics keep my pouch pretty symptom free.
