Remicade making pouchitis worse

KgendronMember

Hi all. I've had my j-pouch for about 14 years. Have had pouchitis pretty much the entire time I've had my pouch. I tried Entyvio last year and it unfortunately didn't work. I've been having a lot of flares and have been antibiotic dependent to get through them. I recently went through a massive flare and my GI doc got me approved for Remicade. Over the past 3 weeks my flare started to get better and I had my first remicade infusion on 7/1. I noticed that night I started to flare again and it's gotten slightly worse over the past couple days. Now I'm afraid to get my second infusion as it might put me into a massive flare (scheduled 7/14). Has anyone ever had this happen? If so did you opt to get another infusion or did you stop?
