Reply to "What do any of you that have had pouchitis eat and drink while fighting it?"

You should try the combination with metronidazole (Flagyl) if the cipro alone doesn't do. That's the most common antibiotics combination for treating pouchitis. I always have 400 mg Flagyl and 500 mg cipro twice a day (for breakfast and supper) when I have increased pouchitis problems.

Does your doctor suspect that you're dealing with a depression? He prescribes sleeping drugs that are mainly antidepressive medicine. I luckily had only once in my life a depression, but the medicine I was prescribed at that time hindered me from sleeping.

Have your blood levels been controlled? If you're always tired that may be a lack of iron or B12.

It's difficult to tell from your description, but I wouldn't worry so much about eating and drinking but about the reason for your problems, may it be pouchitis, a lack of something or both.
