Pouchitis Travel Advice

TheStomacMember

Hi All,

Well, I was scoped on June 12 and confirmed as having mild inflammation of the pouch. I had already done a 10 day stretch of Cipro and the Doc gave me another 7 day dose. The day I came off I called in as the symptoms had decreased somewhat but were still present and I have to travel this coming Wednesday. I told him I was worried and he called in another 7 day dose of Cipro I was to take in my symptoms came back...this was last Thursday. On Saturday they came back strong and I started the Cipro and today I am still very fatigued and have urgency and bad butt burn. I intend on calling the GI in the a.m., but do you all think I should cancel my scheduled training for later this week? It's a three day, intense course which is out of town? My better judgement is telling me to square away my gut first...

My pouch was doing well for being so new (8 months), the last month has been rough. Is this normal?
