Reply to "Please help: Difficulty Evacuating Pouch"

@CTBarrister she is pregnant and this is her first trimester. Using any antibiotics without empirical evidence for being safe during first trimester is a risk.

She might lose some money on probiotics, so what? I think it is totally irrelevant if she can afford them. That much money means NOTHING compared to taking risks with the health of that little person to whom she might one day have to explain why she took those risks with their health, in case they develop a disease with lifelong consequences.

When I was pregnant, I had a UC flare from the beginning, and the doctors were saying mesalamine is safe. Yet, there was not even one study following up on the kids who were exposed to mesalamine during pregnancy. I waited until the end of first trimester to take mesalamine, and sometimes wish I waited longer as my kids grows up.
