Hi Jan,

Why do antibiotics seem to have a salutary effect on cuffitis? In the past, I've been simultaneously diagnosed with mild pouchitis and moderate cuffitis, but all my symptoms resolve with the use of antibiotics. The cuffitis has always been the greater of my problems and it often comes back once the antibiotics are stopped (but now for some reason I've been doing fine without any meds). I can't tolerate mesalamine or steroid preparations.

Cuffitis' response to antibiotics seems to suggest that bacteria somehow contribute to cuffitis. Either that or antibiotics exhibit their anti-inflammatory effects via other pathways.
