Suggest Treatment For Ulcerative Colitis

I have Ulcerative Colitis and am being treated by a GI doctor. I am currently taking Lialda 1.2 grams, 2 tablets twice daily. I am also on Remicade infusion treatments. Most recently, since 2012. about every 8 weeks. I am wanting to stop Remicade and want to know if it is safe to stop. I have been told by some, once on Remicade, you are on it for life. I do not want to be on it any longer. I would like to know if I have other options, as well.
