Reply to "Treatment other than antibiotics"

Rachel: Sorry to hear about your pouchitis. I just had a bad bout and was reminded of how important the antibiotics can be. My advice would be to knock out the pouchitis and then start to worry about what to do to prevent it in the future. I was re-reading notes of mine of 20 years of having the pouch, and there are a number of times where I tried to beat the pouchitis with just one antibiotic like levaquin alone or flagyl, or try a new one, etc. You might consider going on two at one time (Cipro and Flagyl together are popular), my two go tos are Levaquin and Flagyl. I hope you feel better soon.
