    Chronic Diarrhea question

    I have liquid stool 90% of the time. Nothing really helps. Even when I stop eating and use supplements only I'm still liquid. Seems my body has a mind of it's own, One day I'm hard and then for 3 months I'm liquid. I thought it was just me.

    Coming off remicade/infliximab

    This is entirely a personal opinion, Seems to me that some people once their medication is finally works and they are in remission feel that they can stop taking medication and everything will be fine. This plague that we have is chronic which means you will always have it unless they find a...
