Food and Remicade

For those of you who have been successfully using Remicade are you able to eat any of the foods that you could not eat before? I have been staying away from fruit for so long and I would really like to try and add it back into my diet if possible. I know we are all different but I'd love to hear your experiences with it.

Thanks,
Melissa

Thanks for posting GLove. I will try to eat a little bit of fruit today and see what happens.

I still can't eat lettuce or gluten, but don't think the gluten issue was related to UC I'm just one of millions sensitive to gluten.

Well, I can typically eat things that I would normally stay away from following my Remicade treatment.  I do a little better with it, but as I am never truly in remission it still affects me, but in a lesser manner.

Quick question since we're talkin Remicade (not trying to hijack this thread), but have you guys found that the further along you get along in the treatments that the medicine starts to work better?  I am on my 4th or 5th infusion, and am only having minor success with it.  Thanks.

 

My daughter can eat anything except Lettuce and corn-hard to digest for even the healthy colon.
And yes, the Remicade worked better after some time-about the 5th infusion. I think that is when the colon actually healed. Her last colonoscopy showed very small patches of inflammation, and no ulcers or bleeding. Fingers crossed!
