Gastroenterologist 's  Response
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist.

I can understand your concerns. Your symptoms and medicines which you have been prescribed suggest that you are having inflammatory bowel disease, steroid dependent or steroid resistant. Only medical treatment now left is Inj Ramicade or surgical management. Ramicade has some side effects like Hypersenstivity reactions and increased tendency to get infection. Since there is no other medicines left so it is only the treatment of choice as surgery has its own side effects.

I hope I have answered your query and this will help you . Wish you a good health
