Remicade losing its effect

I'm a little confused. You say that you feel Remicade is losing it's effect but then you also say that you have been able to manage your flares with diet. This seems contradictory to me to some extent. If you have been able to manage flares with diet then how do you know that Remicade ever worked at all? And, if you have been able to control your flares with diet, then why is your condition failing and you are blaming the Remicade for losing it's effect?

Sounds like you are right that the Remicade is losing it's effect. Hopefully the diet will continue it's work as you get off the Remicade. I guess there is only one way to find out. Just out of curiosity, if the Remicade had been working so well in the beginning why did you feel it was necessary to start a diet? Are you able to take any oral or rectal ASA's along with the diet?

I think you are correct in your thinking that the diet is a major part of your success and that the Remicade is actually doing very little. I would try some oral or rectal or both meds in combo with the diet, if you are able too. That would actually be a good outcome if it worked.

Don't know what your doctor thinks of UC diets but most poo-poo the idea. In general I actually agree with them but there are many cases, such as yours, where the evidence seems to indicate that it is actually helping you to a great degree. Sometimes you just have to tell the doctor what you want to do and hopefully they will listen.
