Reply to "Remicade making pouchitis worse"

Remicade will have no effect positive or negative for probably 2 months, unless you have a reaction which will be IMMEDIATE. I actually got to personally witness a Remicade reaction in the Remicade infusion room and it's systemic and not what you described. You would be flushed and have a warm sensation on one side and your vitals would be off which is why they are checked every half hour during the infusion.

It's likely what Scott said - you are flaring and the Remicade isn't built up enough in your system to do anything about it, nor will it for around 2 months or possibly more. I realize we live in an instant gratification society in which results are demanded immediately, but it just isn't how this medication works. There is almost certainly no cause and effect relationship between Remicade and the symptoms you have described.
