Just wandering if any of you eat raw sushi while on Remicade?  I really want some but am concerned about the bacteria and not having the immune system to fight stuff off.  Just wanted some input.... thanx!

I'm not on Remicade, but I know alot of the meds we take leave us with no immune system and no matter what I've been on I keep eating sushi and have not had any problems. I don't eat it often, more like a once in awhile delight, especially love California Rolls, but I have never noticed anything in myself personally when I eat it. It might be a try and learn thing for yourself of course. Though now that I think about it my dad does try sushi when he sees me and and my husband eating it once in awhile and he IS on remicade, so I know he tries it.

It's all about where you are getting your sushi. If its a good source, don't worry about it. And if you're worried about your gut and immune system, take a probiotic. Those help. I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.

i was going to say the same things as Ex. As long as you go to a reputable place that buys from a reputable source, uses UV lighting to check their goods for parisites, etc. then you are all set. If you are going to a back alley market, maybe not so much.

I have been on cade for 8 1/2 years I have only been eating sushi for 7. I love sushi and recently found out that having it 2 to 3 times a week was helping me stay healthier. The fish oils are excellent for you. I am no longer able to afford it even once a week and I am watching my health not be as good as it was.
