Does anyone know if Phentermine can be taken for weight loss if you have Crohn's Disease? Believe it or not, I am overweight and can't seem to lose any weight and am wanting to tak Phentermine. Thoughts?

Yep. I've taken it. Neither of my docs (PCP/GI) had an issue with it. I'm about to take it again because after keeping the weight off for over a year, I went on Remicade and have suddenly gained 45 pounds in 6 months.

Is it normal to have such weight gain with remicade? I've gained alot too but I thought it was just because of my eating disorder. Very frustrating.
