Reply to "Pepto bismal!"

I'm glad to have found this thread. I've had my pouch for 3 years with no big issues. Then two and a half months ago I got pouchitis and I can't shake it. Everyone's posts say the antibiotics cleared it right up but mine won't go away. I was on Flagyl for 2 weeks with some relief then it came back 3 days after my last dose. Then I was on Cipro and Flagyl for two weeks, same story. They put me on the Cipro and Flagyl again for 2 weeks and now I'm on a lower dose of Cipro. I've also been doing Rowasa suppositories which seem to have taken the edge off but I find the uncomfortable ache is still there especially after any food. Since the Cipro I've actually been constipated (which I never thought could happen!) so I worry about taking the pepto on top of that. I'm curious if any of you have had the same issues and what has worked for you. Also, I'm about to try to get pregnant soon and any advice you have for staying adequately nourished during pregnsncy or any complications any of you might have had would be great information to have. The doctors seem to know so little!
