Reply to "How do u know it’s time 4 antibiotics?"

It’s always up to you. Do you know how inflamed your pouch is (or isn’t)? If you have significant unmanaged inflammation you can develop complications (e.g. strictures) beyond whatever pouchitis symptoms you have. Nevertheless, most folks do okay treating pouchitis when they have unpleasant symptoms. Antibiotic “dependent” pouchitis isn’t caused by antibiotic use, but rather inflammation that just won’t stay away without constant treatment.
