I'm running out of options, I'm waiting to start Vedolizumab, but in the meantime I'm wondering if there's any other combination of antibiotics that I haven't tried yet. I've tried Cipro with Ceftin, Flagyl, Rifiximan and Tinizadole. Any other antibiotics that you've tried and have helped?

When I was on doxycycline for a couple of months for SIBO it seemed to be a satisfactory replacement for Cipro, at least in my body. I did have a transient bellyache from it for almost a week. Good luck!
Levaquin works for me after Cipro failed.
Also take a strong probiotic such as VSL#3 (not prescription but you can get double strength as prescription if your insurance will cover)
Augmentin worked for a while for my son. Eventually it stopped working though.
bactrim
oral vancomycin
In addition to other the other replies (Augmentin, Bactrim, Doxy, etc.), I would definitely try Pepto Bismol tablets. For me, worked just as well as any other antibiotic. I was able to be on them for around an entire year before it stopped being effective. And interestingly enough, I tried it again just 2 days ago not expecting it to do anything, and it works again! May not last long, but I'll take it :-)
am assuming your problem is pouchitis??
used invanz for awhile. not terribly effective, but might work for you. i'd add water to the 1 g. bottle and drink it. is suppose to just work on the gi system. usually is an infusion so your doc might think this crazy. also, i use vsl capsules as suppositories i.e.. up the poop hole instead of swallowing them. sort of helped. also canasa suppositories.
