Anyone experience nausea after remicade? My son had his 1st infusion on Friday. Yesterday and today very nauseous and vomiting. First thought was the pillcam which we still did not see come out. So we went for an xray and found no pillcam. Which is good, but still wondering what is causing the nausea and anxious to have him eat. He has been drinking, but no food in 24 hrs and he is way too thin to not eat. Dr stopped the cipro and flagyl yesterday because I know it causes nausea. So wondering what else it can be? We don't want to rush off to ER because it is 1.5 hrs away and he is no pain. But I really want to get him feeling better by Christmas.

I never had nausea in two years of Remicade. Other medications like Methotrexate and Benadryl get taken with Remicade and could be the cause, but Cipro and Flagyl could cause it if he just started taking them. You should review the entire medications list with his doctor and seek advice.  It may have been the Flagyl and maybe not. Glad to hear it seems to be getting better.
