Karen-

If your pouchitis responds well to Cipro then it (fortunately) isn’t “refractory,” it’s just chronic. “Refractory” means unresponsive to treatment.

My experience suggests that VSL helps even when on Cipro. It may be because my VSL dose is so high, or because I space them out, or because I’m imagining things. I’d suggest doing the experiment for yourself - your doctor is guessing about the Cipro killing enough bacteria to make the VSL useless, since no one really know how this stuff works.
