Thanks for your feedback. As I'm burning through more and more antibiotics, I need to start looking for other options. Clearly, the diet is where I need to focus. It's just really tough for me to give up carbs. I can give up sweets and sugars, but breads and pastas and rice are huge staples in our family's diet.

I tried to "fix" pouchitis with diet and got close but never could get off antibiotics. Actually I probably didn't even get that close. I ate as clean as humanly possible, paleo style with mainly veggies and some fish and meats. No bread, pasta, rice, pizza, ice cream, alcohol, chips, bakery items or anything else that is good to eat. Still could not get off antibiotics. Low carb and no sugar definitely makes things better, but it is not an outright "fix", at least not for me.
