remicade and diarrhea

Hi I have a quick question and need some info from experienced remi users. I have been on a bad flare since dec 2013. I switched doctors and they wanted to put me on remi since I been in and out of flares majority of the time since 2011. I went from mild left sided to severe colitis as of rIght now. But all my pain and discomfort is in my right adominal. just had my 2nd injection about 5 dAys ago. My body felt great after 1st one and I did start feeling better as far as energy and back to my old self I still have these days but then sometimes I feel fatigue and the d is worse on some days then others I did notice that the blood has slowed down and only get majority of blood bms the first couple of times in the morning . it almost feels as if I'm emptying out nights r still bad I get up to use bathroom sometimes every two hours it actually feels like I fill up with a little blood then get urgency to run to use bathrrom I try lay on back and left side since right side is where majority of symptom discomfort is cuased i still use bathroom about 6-10 times a day.I have resorted to laying on the couch but still it sometimes dont help. I have been on a bland diet for about almost 2 months and still have the d. My ? Is. Has anyone had this kind of experience and how long did u still have d and blood on remi. Like I said I do feel remi is helping me as far as energy and I start I to feel like old self little by little and people and co workers say I look alot better but the d and urgency is still here. Also my stool will start to form and then next day go back to d any help.
thanks .

I agree, just give it more time. Eventually (hopefully) you will get a lessening of symptoms after each infusion. I didn't notice an improvement until after my 3rd but I didn't get into remission until I was on it for about 9 months. However, I kept getting better and better after each infusion.

I felt like I was mostly in remission after my second infusion, but continued to feel better (less gas, more energy, etc.) steadily for the next year.

Same here. Try and stick with it, if you can. I also changed GIs recently and they put me back on Imuran as well. In fact, he was confused as to why I was ever taken off Imuran before starting Remicade in the first place.

Hang in there.
