Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good.

I received my bloodwork back last week and the IBD nurse mentioned I have low levels in my blood??
I'm assuming it's Remicade levels..
If so what would low blood levels of remicade in the body indicate??
I still have urgency and the nurse said she'd be in touch after consulting my with my GI??
1 week later I'm patiently waiting like urgency and dihariea are no big issue!!!

You should contact your doc and find out what level was low and what (if anything should be done about it). I wouldn't just assume it's the remicade levels unless you recently had a test for that. It's a specialized test. Since your flaring, a number of levels could be abnormal. Oftentimes we have to keep following up until we get answers. Docs see hundreds/thousands of patients and can only focus on one at a time. You have only one (yourself). Don't be afraid to keep asking until you get an answer.

How long have you been on Remicade?

If your Remicade levels are low and you haven't developed antibodies, they will likely want to either increase your dose or move your infusions closer together. I would call your doctor's office. You shouldn't have to wait a week for a response.
