Reply to "Pouchitis found on biopsy ~ 30 days on Flagyl"

Hi, Sue. 30 days is longer than usual for pouchitis, but perhaps your biopsies suggested something worth treating more aggressively. When you say the Flagyl is kicking your butt, do you mean you’re having troublesome side effects? If so your doctor might consider a shorter course or a different antibiotic. In any case symptoms will usually start to improve within a few days. Pouchitis doesn’t always show up on pouchoscopy, and it’s sometimes worth treating based only on symptoms. Good luck!
