Hello,

I am wondering to know your experience with Augmentin (Antibiotic) to treat pouchitis?

I get occasional pouchitis and Augmentin seems to work best for me. I find it strange as there is very little out there in the literature (even doctors say so) that Augemntin in used for pouchitis.

Flagyl gave me tingling and Cipro makes me very constipated. Augmentin seems to keep me regular while still treat the inflammation.

Augmentin hasn't been effective for my pouchitis as of yet, but I do know that it has worked well for many people on this forum. Perhaps it will work for me in the future. Sometimes an antibiotic works, then it no longer does, and then later it works again.

There are many antibiotics which successfully treat pouchitis beside Cipro and Flagyl. In many cases, it's trial and error for an individual. For instance, Bactrim DS worked very well for me before I became resistant to it. I'm optimistic it will work again down the road.

Glad you've found one that works for you.
