I tried sending you a few medical articles, but the site will not allow me to attach them. Research Crohn's and Colitis Foundation (they even offer free webinars), MedPage Today and Gastroenterology journals. You will find so much information! Infliximab has been around for decades and works quickly. There are 3 loading doses (0,2 6 weeks) and then infusions every 4, 5, 6 or 8 weeks depending on response. They also titrate the dose (after premeds - Tylenol and an antihistamine) so it takes hours each time. Get a GOOD GI doc that does regular therapeutic drug monitoring and KNOW your body. That's the best advice I have and I wish you and your son the very best with treatment and a LONG remission!!!
