Remicade Side Effects

I started Remicade a couple of months ago. I've had 3 infusions so far. I noticed a difference right away and was very hopeful. Sadly, for the past 2 weeks (so about 2 weeks after the 3rd infusion) I've had chronic, very watery diarrhea. No blood, and most of the time not urgency. I also started some vitamins about 3 weeks ago- B12, Calcium (wD), and a multivitamin. I wonder if it's the Remicade that is causing this, or the new vitamin routine. I also take probiotics and Vitamin C on a regular basis. I can't find anything that relates any of these vitamins to diarrhea, so my guess is that it's the Remicade. Has anyone had a similar experience?

It took a while for my Remicade to start working. I still experience the odd bout with d even after nine doses and almost 4 months of comfortable/manageable bathroom habits. From what I've been able to gather, it was because of my diet... I was dealing with a flare for so long, that I kept my diet very simple and focused on a more non-residual food plan... Once I started reintroducing foods that I hadn't eaten for a while, I had problems, but I would have the same food again the next day and wouldn't have any issues at all. It was all about acclimatizing my digestive system to whatever it needed to acclimatize to again.

I'm actually experiencing something similar to you, I've also decided to cut out the multivitamin and calcium for now. I'm in between my 3rd and 4th infusions of Remicade.

I'm in between 3rd and 4th now, trying to decide if I should continue. It hasn't made much difference for me at all, I'm glad it seemed to work for you at least for awhile! So I can't really say about the diarrhea since mine has been the same before and during the doses. I have noticed I seem to have lots of hair loss recently and noted others have experienced that as a side effect, too. Other than that I'm not sure if I have had any other side effects, other than getting worse. But now that I think about it, perhaps it has made my diarrhea worse -- since just before the 3rd dose I've actually had accidents where I couldn't hold back at all, and that is new for me.
