Reply to "MRI Enterography Study of Small Bowel"

Sounds like a good plan. I am sorry you were not able to make it longer than a week without antibiotics. The good news is this will most likely remain unchanged at your follow up scope. This makes sense to me as our specialist feels I am dealing with the same thing in my distal pouch due to the severe cuffitis, inflammation and narrowing of the anastomosis. When I had my last in office scope after a complete fast (not to be too graphic), my entire pouch was clean from residual stool except the very bottom area. Now that may just be the way things work with the pouch and gravity and timing of the procedure etc..but who knows.

I truly trust our specialist. I think if you can lower the antibiotic dosages and the entocort helps that is a good plan as I know he would prefer we be on the least amount of antibiotics as possible. He has highly recommended I be seen by Cleveland next month and just recently helped me with a switch to another antibiotic when I was in pain and misery the other day with no response from the surgeon's office. I have since learned that the GI is the go to person for meds and adjustment dosages and the surgeon is there if meds fail you.

I hope this new plan continues to keep you feeling well and you have positive results to post in June.
