Hi, I'm new here. I'm on remicade every 8 weeks. My naturopath mentioned that quercetin maybe beneficial with CD,

but the GI thinks it can interfere with the immunosuppression. Has anybody dealt with this disagreement?

Diagnosed with CD Fall, 2012. Prednisone and Immuran didn't work.

Ive take quercetin when on 6mp and humira and my doc never thought anything of it. It was for chronic hives i was getting from iron infusions since quercetin is an antihistamine. He was aware i was taking it. I never noticed any interaction.

Thanks, bananagirl!
I'll finish my quercetin anyway to see the results. However, I see the point: quercetin seems to be an immune booster, and remicade suppresses it. Let's hope the former boosts in a right direction:)
