I meant that 1-3 is considered normal for **everyone**, not just

us.

>> I know that this varies for everyone, but how long did it take the diet to

start reducing your bowel movement frequency? I stated earlier that I was in a

flare and had to get my Remicade infusion early, so obviously my disease is

still active. The Remicade worked to stop the diarrhea and fevers, and the first

week not so much frequency, but now I'm going about 5 times a day and having

nocturnal bowel movements.

sick, I had 2-3. For those of you who have 1, do you not eat very much?
