Reply to "chronic pouchitis-Antibiotics (Levaquin)-Poucher from Shanghai"

Switching from Levaquin to Cipro isn’t likely to help anything, since they are very similar drugs. The numbness may change very, very slowly, even if the metronidazole caused it.

I haven’t had any issues with C. diff or fungus. I do take a very high dose of VSL #3 (4 DS packets per day) - that’s a bacterial probiotic that might help with fungus overgrowth. Unfortunately it’s expensive. The usual probiotic to prevent C. Diff is a yeast formulation (S. boulardi), sold as Florastor, but I haven’t used it much.
