Question:
My doctor mentioned that I may soon have to go on Remicade. I have never been on this drug, and I was wondering if anyone could share some info about this drug. I have not researched or have any info about it. All I know is that it is expensive, and that it has to be given through an I.V. Please it would be greatly appreciated if you could share your experiences with this medication. I would also like to know if there are many side effects with this???? and does this drug only help for a certain time period???? I am looking for information about a drug for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Answer:
Researchers in England are that a very large percentage of people suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome were also found to be infected with MAP. Irritable Bowel Syndrome means that a person has alternating constipation and diarrhea along with cramping, and doctors can't find a cause. Previous research shows that MAP can damage the nerves inside the intestines of certain animals. A recent study from Sweden shows that people with Irritable Bowel syndrome also have inflamed gut nerves. So MAP may cause both Crohn's disease and some cases of Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
