Reply to "Just wondering what other jpouchers would do"

I would take the meds, and I have. Biologics were experimental when I had my colectomy and j-pouch. Remicade has done a great job of inducing remission of my chronic pouchitis. I wonder if I might have avoided colectomy if biologics were more available at that time. My new GI was telling me that the bigger issue now is that biologics are not started early enough.

I have been on one biologic or another for at least 15 years and I have had no side effects.
