Reply to "Pouchitis flare up - Diet?"

@Brett L I’m so sorry that your insurance is an issue. The Health Insurance Marketplace here in Maryland includes Blue Cross PPO plans with national networks and out-of-network coverage, and I’m grateful to have been able to choose that.

Do you have an ordinary gastroenterologist who could prescribe a course of Cipro? Have you had a pouchoscopy? How certain is the diagnosis? I can’t tell what is making your situation require highly specialized care. Have you already tried ordinary treatments and failed? Pouchitis can feel awful, but the treatment is often simple and quick, with relief as early as within the first few doses of Cipro. I hope you feel better soon!
