Reply to "Reversal for no use pouchitis - now real pouchitis"

This is an update on my son. He has been off of antibiotics for about 6 weeks now and it looks like he is keeping the pouchitis at bay. He still goes about 10 times a day and 4 at night. Output is still lose. His doctor recommended pectin and metamucil. It has worked some.  VSL3 DS seems to be a must. When he skips a few doses, the output gets smelly. Once he takes it all goes back to normal. He sometimes sees blood when he wipes, but that seems to be the butt burn for which we are using Ilex and Vaseline. Overall, he is doing well 9 weeks out from surgery. His doctor couldn't believe how healthy he looked compared to a few months ago. So we are hopeful that the recovery will continue and that maybe in a few more weeks/months he will go less. He is happy with his j pouch. 

I do not want to tell you what to do but since I started using calmoseptine ointment (sticky) , no more butt burn and at same time reduced somewhat the number of times I need to go. Hope this is of some help.
