My take down was in Aug 2018 three step surgery ( IPAA ) . Suffered with pouchitis and cuffitis after surgery till Aug 2019 when I went in a fecal transplant study which finally settled everything down . Before that I was on Cipro/ flagyl for a few months and they did help but every time I went on them within a few days I started getting heart palpitations which scared me more then the pouchitis.
Since late September 2019 I haven’t had any major issues I still have at least 15 bm a day but none with pain . About two weeks ago I started up with gas spasms which are extremely painfully and more frequent bm which on average are over 20 a day. Pain in my lower back and my arthritis has gotten worst with my whole body sore and stiff . Just wondering instead of the antibiotics has anyone had any luck with any natural treatments or supplements. I know it doesn’t always work I tried them all with my UC just wondering if I can avoid the antibiotics now or should that my only step.
Thanks
