Flares not uncommon: Sometime the bowel inflammation will break through and flare. In these cases it will often quiet down either by increasing the Remicade (infliximab) dose and giving the infusions at shorter intervals for a while.

See doctor: It's important to make sure you do not have an infection like clostridium difficile.
