Reply to "Low quality of life with pouch... not sure what to do"

After about a week of antibiotics, I feel like my frequency and pain are back up. It definitely helped, as I actually had one night with no BM a week ago. I woke up in the morning and was just so confused! 

 

I only have 3 days left to reach the 2 week point. Have the antibiotics become ineffective already? I still have less gas but I also feel like my BM's are getting watery again. I'm thinking about asking my GI whether I might try Xifaxin.

 

I just don't understand why all of you do this. I know that this is better than uncontrolled UC, but just about anything would be. Not having a bag is nice, but incontinence, GI symptoms,  and chronic drugs are much harder for me to deal with.
