Remicade 7 weeks after surgery - stricture recurring?

[stegios]

Hello everybody, hope everyone feels OK today. Fingers crossed.
I have some concerns and I want to share them with you. I had a resection of small intestine that was strictured 26 cm (terminal ileum) and 15cm of ascending colon 8 weeks ago. I have been advised by my GI that in order for the strictures to not appear again I should start Infliximab. Regarding my surgery, I don't feel 100% OK but I am in a good way I think (even though I am having D once a day).
Since I have started Infliximab i have a feeling on my right side of a light cramp. Is not a pain and I feel my stomach a little bloated. My biggest worry now is that the Infliximab could bring my stricture again. Is that possible? In a week of Infliximab and 8 weeks after surgery?

My doctor said that the surgery's edges were clean of inflammation and they checked the bowel and was Crohn free.

Really looking forward to your opinion and experiences.

My son had an ileocecectomy and even though surgery went great, clean edges, beautiful lines and site his inflammation was quick to reestablish after surgery.

He had been on Remicade before surgery and started back afterward. Due to the time off Remicade his body built up antibodies when he started back causing the remicade to be ineffective. So his followup colonoscopy showed active inflammation at the anastomosis site(common CD location of reoccurrence after surgery)

Besides remicade he had also been on methotrexate throughout but it wasn't enough to keep the CD at bay.

He's had to move to humira and we have a colonoscopy coming up to determine if the Humira has stopped the active disease.

Oh btw, my son has been asymptomatic even before surgery so we rarely have the signal of outward symptoms to let us know things are going awry inside. We use fecal calprotectin stool tests since they test for inflammation in the bowels only and have been a great tool for determining flares or inflammation for us.

By saying "quick to reestablish" how quick do you mean? As you understand comparing to others is one of our medicines!

I can't be certain with my son. His calprotectin was slightly raised maybe 3 months after surgery. His scope was maybe 6 months.

My husbands niece had to have an emergency scope 7 weeks after surgery due to severe symptoms and her CD was severely active at the anastomosis site. So fairly soon for her.

Ian wondering was your son on scd any other diet after stricture removal plus the medicine. Ian looking at having stricture removed but will the inflammation come back?
