[|Human|] I take Remicade infusions every 8 wks for Chrons and just completed my 26th infusion. For the last 2 months, my blood tests show a very low white blood cell count. My regular doctor and Chrons specialist have both mentioned this. The Remicade keeps me in remission, is there a natural treatment, diet, supplements that I can take to raise the count??? If I have another flare up of Chrons, my only option is surgery and the bag. Would seriously like to avoid. Marjorie
[|AI|]  Your question is if Remade causes low white blood cell counts and what can you do to help increase your counts. Remade does reduce white blood cell counts and can increase your risk of infection due to the lower counts. There is nothing you can do with diet or supplements to raise your counts. If I were your doctor I would keep a close eye on your counts and caution you if you develop any fever or chills immediately contact your doctors. I hope this answers your question. If you have any further questions please contact us again.
