Remicade and weight gain. . .

[Mitchell A]

Hi, I've been on remicade since April of 2012 and after my loading doses I've been continuing at 8 week intervals. Since starting the infusions I have been steadily gaining weight and just this week I hit 30lbs over my pre-diagnosis weight, which by the way is 30lbs more than I'd prefer. I did a little research (yea i googled it ) and found an article from 2007 suggesting, but not proving, a relation between remicade and weight gain. I was wondering if anyone else has seen the same thing?

I thinks that the weight gaining during the biolocig drugs is because the bowel gets healthier and every nutrions (fat ect.) absorbed better. I have gain weight 13 kilos since i started Humira again this year. :hallo3: I hate it because i'm overweight allready!
