Reply to "Only one antibiotic at a time?"

CaySeeBee. I've had my pouch for 15 years. I've seemed to get pouchitis around once a year or so. Maybe once every 9 months. If you can handle flagyl, then definitely do both. I've found that when my pouchitis is bad that I absolutely have to take two antibiotics at a time to knock it out. The case I have now is slight and I caught it early, so I'm trying just Levaquin. If I had caught it later, I would be doing both. Flagyl probably will help you. I just didn't want to deal with the side effects right now. You'll find through the years that you may come to know more about your pouch than most doctors and that the people on this site know more too. Good luck.
