Yes, antibiotics work especially cipro. The only difference now is that anytime I stop, I relapse. Earlier 5 days antibiotics will resolve the underlying inflammation but now I have to stay on the antibiotics for longer period

I was on antibiotics continuously with no stoppage for 25 years. I may have the record for this board - the Cal Ripken of consecutive days antibiotics usage - although not sure about that. My New York City GI used to say to me, "you are the Guinea Pig for long term chronic antibiotic use", when I used to ask him if I could be on antibiotics for years. However I am now off antibiotics and on Remicade, the second line of treatment for IBD.
