I've never taken Remicade or other immunosuppressive drugs, so I don't have experience with that.
However, I did have a big problem with oral antibiotics, as they would greatly worsen my diarrhea. The solution was to take antibiotics via injection. That can be tricky though if you're doing it at home. If you want to take that route, you'd at least have to get a nurse to show you how to do it, because some need to be taken with a slow IV drip while others are OK for IM injection (the latter method is way easier, you can do it yourself).
Аbout 10 years ago I had scrub typhus, which in my case required two injections a day for two weeks, delivered by slow IV drip. What a nuisance that was!
An alternative that occurred to me (but I've never done it) is to mix liquid antibiotics with DMSO, a transporter which can deliver drugs through your skin. It's used in veterinary medicine (especially for horses), but it's controversial for humans. One thing about
DMSO is that it will give you an unpleasant "garlic" taste in your mouth that lasts for hours, and that might be why it's seldom used. I have tried DMSO all by itself because it's claimed to do good things for Crohn's, but it didn't really work and the putrid taste was too much of a turn-off.
I'm not really advocating the DMSO method, just saying it exists as an alternative, at least in veterinary medicine. Injections are the usual way to deliver antibiotics to humans when it's necessary to bypass the intestines.
