How important is diet during first few remicade infusions?

Hey all, I was on Skyrizi for 6 months before it stopped working for me. Got my first two doses of remicade, I'm on week 3 and I'm pretty strict to avoid triggers/processed/lactose/gluten but once or twice a week I need a fricken break so I cheat. I know the first 6 weeks are crucial so in really trying to eat clean but how much is it actually gonna affect me if I cheat a few times a week?

Second remicade infusion nerves

Hey all, I had my first infusion about two weeks ago and about 6 days after I had a bug fever, body aches, headache and then the days that followed I was left with some shortness of breath.

I told my doc about all of this, she says she thinks it's unrelated to the meds but to keep her posted on how my second one goes.

It's now 12 days after and I've had some random hives and continue mild shortness of breathe but I'm super anxious about my infusion. It feels like a delayed reaction or like my body is fighting off an infection.

Anyone with similar experience? How did it go?
