remicade

Hello  All

    The Nih is starting a remicade protocol for 25 patients with Cgd that have IBD symptoms. We are considering this due to Domenic's constant battle with his bowels. In the past we did go through 2 rounds of remicade but Domenic picked up an infection so we had to stop, but I think its time to try again.Has anyone else been contacted please respond.

Thank You

Mark

Mark, I don't read this board too often but ran across your Remicade post. Thought I'd let you know I was at NIH week of March 16 (first time in 3 years). Although I don't have any bowel problems and do have CGD, they asked me to undergo a colonoscopy for the Remicade research. I'm at that age when the colonoscopy is a necessary thing.

They took 44 biopsies from my colon. My colon was given a clean bill of health otherwise. I hope your little guy is getting on ok.

Joey
