C-Diff Infection, Failing Remicade, & Back in the Hospital | My IBD Journey wit h Ulcerative Colitis
Getting a C-Diff Bacterial Infection with IBD Ulcerative Colitis is less than ideal during a UC flare, especially right when you fail Remicade Biologic treatment. In this video, I talk about my experience with getting a highly contagious Clostridioides difficile ( or C. difficile) infection, failing Remicade therapy, and going back to the hospital for a blood transfusion and sigmoidoscopy before starting on Xeljanz.
