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

Johnnycomelately,

Is the topical hydrogen peroxide administered by enema?

Jiajun,

Cipro and levacquin are indeed antibiotic cousins both in the fluoroquilones family of antibiotics. I was told never rotate from one onto the other. They are too close. Try tinidazole, or augmentin, or xifaxin. I have rotated antibiotics since 1995 for chronic Pouch inflammation. In 2015, I added Remicade which enabled me to decrease antibiotics dosages. If the antibiotics isn’t giving you complete relief, you probably do need to go to a biological drug.
