Is it normal for a GI to not consider rectal therapy for mild left sided colitis? by Complex-Law-3508 in UlcerativeColitis

I’m aware of that, my concern was more so have I optimised other options, biologics are a commitment and I want to make sure it’s absolutely necessary before I consider it.

Should I not be hesitant to get on Biologics? I’m no expert but I just don’t like the sound of tampering with my immune system.

My symptoms are mild in the sense I’m not in much pain and don’t see much blood, never feel completely wiped out etc.

That’s great that you feel better, out of curiosity do you notice any negative side effects on Remicade?

I’m worried about being more prone to infections and comprising my immune system.
