Reply to "Something Besides Pouchitis?"

Update: The VSL #3 came this morning. I had one packet in the morning and another in the evening. This may just be in my head or coincidence, but after the second one I swear I'm starting to feel better. If watching my diet and upping my probiotics doesn't completely turn things around and I have to take antibiotics again, I am definitely still going to continue the VSL#3 afterwards. This may have been posted before, but it looks like there is some solid research in VSL#3 keeping pouchitis away for a pretty significant number of people.

If pouchitis is an overgrowth of bad bacteria and recurrent pouchitis is the overgrowth coming back again after antibiotics are taken, then it would make sense to try and maintain a positive balance of bacteria after the antibiotics clear everything out.
