Hi All!
My name is Karan and I am new to this group.
I had my total colectomy in 2015 due to severe UC and then my takedown in May 2016. Since then I have had pouchitis and they most debilitating aspect is the constant 'Brain Fog'/Headaches which I have every single day since 2017. No matter how well I sleep, I always have such a heavy head and I presume this is due to the chronic inflammation in my pouch). Does anyone else have this?
I have been on multiple rounds of Antibiotics and am on another round (Cipro and Flaggyl) for another month before my scope in November. They give me really bad constipation!
I focus on a Mediterranean diet so def mostly Carbs and cant seem to fix the brain fog which makes me so sleepy/confused. I eat 2 meals a day now to allow for extra rest. I take Symprove probiotics (probably all being killed due to the antibiotics).
I've been hearing a lot about oregano oil. Can someone please give me some guidance as I really don't wish to be on antibiotics.
Current supplements: Vitd3, Curcumin, Omegas, Symprove.
Any help would be appreciated right now. Thank you.
