Reply to "Pregnancy and recurring pouchitis"

Hey guys.   Thanks for all of your comments I appreciate it. In response to one of the questions regarding how my pouchitis was diagnosed it's always the same thing. I go in with nausea and vomiting and severe pain and before I got pregnant they would do CT'S  and ultrasounds to rule everything else out and then they just go with pouchitis.  While in the hospital they gave me IV fluids, IV nausea and pain medicine, and put me on NPO for a couple days and then slowly increase my diet until I can eat without pain and then I go home. I have never once been offered anabiotics  by any of the three hospitals I've been to. I am hoping when I see my new G.I. doctor on Friday they will order a scope to look in my pouch to see what's going on. This last time in the hospital they said by inflammatory markers were extremely elevated whatever that means.  that was the first time I've ever heard of that term and the doctor said that most doctors don't order the test but he did. This was at Stanford. Now after reading all your comments I am really confused as to why I've never been offered antibiotics. I will definitely be bringing this up with my doctor on Friday !
