Can use of antibiotics for other illnesses cause pouchitis?

Kim WMember

Just wondering if anyone has found that they experience problems with pouchitis following treatment with antibiotics or other conditions? I recently took amoxicillin x 7 days when having a tooth pulled. Now I seem to be having some mild symptoms like pouchitis. Bloating/ cramping/ headaches/ muscle aches. I am about 3 years post surgery with 1 episode of pouchitis about a 1 1/2 years post surgery. At that time I had also received a different antibiotic shortly prior to onset of symptoms for a UTI. Any input is appreciated. I have been eating yogurt daily and just restarted VSL 3. Thanks!
