Does anyone get constipation for about a week or so immediately following their Remicade infusion?

Yes, every so often I do! I just up the GoodBelly Probiotic drink and fiber and after a day or so I'm okay.

Yes, I used to get constipated for 2-4 days after every infusion. Sometimes I enjoyed the bathroom break, but it annoyed me too 'cause I knew things were just building up inside, & around day 5-6 I'd be on the toilet 10 times. Funny though, I haven't experienced that with Humira.

For a few days after the infusion my bm's are as close to normal as they get for me. Wish they'd stay that way! :)
