It seems like most of you on Remicade suffer from pancolitis and was wondering if it would help me since my main problems is the inflammation of the rectum.

Hi! I have left-sided colitis and also inflammation in my rectum. Also a small portion of my small intestine has inflammation. I have found that it takes care of all of my symptons. I can't wait for my next infusion!

There's no reason it shouldn't work, since the biological processes are the same and the drug is IV. The reason for the difference with 5-ASAs is that they essentially act as topicals, so the medicine has to reach the affected area.
