Reply to "Cleanse to treat pouchitis?"

Preaching to the choir here! My logical mind tells me that carbs in general are my enemy, and breads/sweets in particular. Between my pouchitis and diabetes, I know this to be true. But, I love them. So rather than swear off completely, I have reduced them, a lot. Shed some pounds in the process and no longer need diabetes meds. But, pouchitis marches on and I still am on rotating antibiotics (along with Canasa, Azulfidine, and Cimzia). Next, I am trying enteric coated peppermint oil to see if it helps with the IBS/SIBO symptoms of excessive gas and cramping. I know the gas is due to bacterial overgrowth, and peppermint oil is supposed to help with that. Peppermint tea was of no use.
