That sounds good, CT.

For me it was more of a trade down. I had 3...4 BM per day back in colitis times, no blood as far as I can remember, only diarrhea all the time.

Now at the moment I might be even a little better off being on Cipro 2x500 mg, Flagyl 2x400 mg and Budesonide 2x3 mg. There is no real urgency to go to the toilet, and 3...4 BM per day while feeling well overall is the best I've experienced in all those years with the pouch.

But I have to try without the antibiotics again. Probiotics didn't seem to help me so far. I've tried VSL#3 more than 10 years ago for some weeks. Nowadays there are plenty of probiotics offered in web stores. With even more sorts of bacteria than VSL#3. But only certain stems and only aerobic ones. Perhaps one day there is an individualized bacteria treatment for IBDs, but that's a wide field to be explored.
