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

Hi Scott,

Thanks for advice. I have stopped taking metronidazole to see if the numbness would disappear. Besides, taking Levaquin leads me severe insomnia. I have to reply on hypnotic from starting Levaquin. And I would see another IBD specialized GI who I trust a lot next Tuesday to check if I could switch to Cipro and Xifaxan or have to stick on Levaquin for long term since my syptom have relieved a lot.

Btw, have you met any C.diff or fungus problem when on Cipro. Last month my stool sample lab indicated fungus and high white cell count . The GI said the fungus was caused by the bacteria inbalance within gut which striked by antibiotics and also advised that probiotic could help to clean up fungus.
