Reply to "Cipro after Flagyl not working"

need some advice again if possible. went on 2 week cycle of Flagyl /cipro and while on it everything was good. I could eat when I wanted, ride my bike, etc. One day after I stopped taking it I got the flu. All pouchitis symptoms came back. I called the doctor and the next course of action from his plan was Mesalamine. I have been taking this for 4 days now and it seems the pouchitis symptoms are even worse. Painful gas feeling that makes you need to run to the bathroom, slimy stool, lack of appetite.I am not eating much at all to try and avoid trips to the bathroom. I am just not sure if I should give this more time or call my doctor to see what the next options are. anyone have success with Mesalamine for pouchitis? is there a sweet spot of time that I should be targeting (one week, 10 days)? it is hard to want to try anything new especially since this was over $300.
