Hi ScottF. Thanks for your suggestions. Unfortunately, Rifaximin costs about 670.00/month. I am 64 and on a very fixed I come. I have no coverage for that antibiotic. Too bad though. I find I think ahead of what to do next if something fails. Hate to be pessimistic, but sometimes it happens. I figured the Jpouch was the ticket to health and no pain. I was wrong. It is just a different set of problems than UC. Still better.
Thanks again. Much appreciated.
