Thank you everyone for your input. Am trying out a new doc in OKC. I've been on the Xifaxin for about 3 months now. Though my stools are still liquid, the pain is a bit better but not gone. After Dr Ali looks at my pouch, he'll give me his opinion re biologics. He, like the last couple of docs, brought up the possibility of going to an ileostomy. Just can't wrap my head around that yet.
