Reply to "November is 44 years with a Kock Pouch :-)"

I had my k pouch done by Dr. Gelernt in 1979 and a revision with Dr. Bauer in 1999-2000. I see Dr. Rubin due to pouchitis which is troublesome to say the least. I was told in 2017 by Dr. Rubin that there was ulcers in my pouch and that they are seeing crohns like symptoms in older pouches. Anyone have success with any medications with recurring pouchitis? Dr. Rubin is now putting me on xifaxan vs cipro. I heard about VSL probiotics? Anyone use biologics? I live in upstate NY and the docs up here aren't sure what to do with K pouches so I make the drive back to NYC.
