Thanks again Scott for the reply, I appreciate it. Regarding the stricture, I am not sure where it is located, and have had three dilation procedures in the span of the last four months. I will talk to my Dr about self dilation when we have a follow up appointment if that is something she thinks would be beneficial.
For pouchitis, I have done cipro for two different 14 day rounds and it seemed to help but my tendons in my shoulder and ankles felt like they were going to explode so my dr advised to try something else. Flagly made me really constipated to the point where I had to stop taking them after a few days. Than was Tinidazole which I did twice, once for 28 days then 14 days but it didn’t seem to work. And most recently augmentin once for 14 days, and again for 14 days. Augmentin helped a bit, but the good feeling only lasted about a week, and I don’t want to overdue the same antibiotic. What other antibiotics do you know of for pouchitis? Also what is your experience with biologics? And for me personally, I have tried VSL probiotics and they made me feel worse, for some reason lower dosage probiotics help me more. I use a generic store brand that is only about 10 billion live cultures.
thanks again
