There's no official information on this. It's a weekend (so can't call doctor) and I have a trip coming up. I don't want to have to go to the ER because it's not that bad yet and I already owe a lot of money in medical bills and I just cannot do this to myself again.
Has anyone tried putting visbiome directly in your pouch?
My pouch hurts. It has hurt for 3 days. It feels like stuff is stuck in the opening and kinda like there's glass in there. When I try to flush out with a regular enema the liquid barely comes back out and it stings. No blood though. I have put a Q-tip in there with calmoseptine to try to sooth it and see if I could catch any blood and there's nothing. I don't know what this is.
I have taken 6 packets of the 450 billion CFU unflavored variety today and there has been no change in symptoms. I've used this product with pretty good success for the last 3 months. Other times where I have had pouchitis symptoms I have just megadosed and taken more than 4 a day and it usually clears it up. I'm on packet 6 and day 4 of this pain and it's worse.
I'm trying to get pregnant so I can't take any antibiotics. My period is due soon so I guess if I'm not pregnant this round maybe I'll ask the doctor if I should do that. In the meantime I need some kind of emergency solution/hail mary. I thought maybe a visbiome enema might help. But I'm not sure if it is safe. The website says nothing one way or another and I cannot find anything online if anyone has ever tried this.
Have you?
Edit: Update: I tried it. I did not explode or die. (Yet) We'll see if this helps.
