Hello from uk everyone, I have been suffering with pouchitis for 3 years now. As soon as I stop antibiotics, symptoms come back within 3 days. I decided to try keto diet... within a couple weeks it worked. I only take one metronidazole 200mg every 3 days only if I need it. I have pouch movement twice a day and none during the night. Slowly I will introduce fibre and carbs again into my diet but at the moment I feel great.
Has anyone tried keto before? What are your thoughts please?
Never give up trying to make yourself better.
Thank you

A very low carbohydrate diet does seem to work for some people, and I’m glad it’s helping you. Some have reported that it took longer than a couple of weeks, but I suspect people vary enormously in how much carbohydrate consumption they consider “very low.” I didn’t get any benefit when I tried it, but I may not have tried it for long enough. I’m fortunate that I tolerate the antibiotics very well.
