Reply to "Year since takedown and cannot manage without antibiotics"

KarbearMember

I've been on antibiotics or some form of pouch medicine almost since day 1. My doctor decided to try Entocort to get me off the antibiotics. The Entocort did great for my pouchitis, but I developed 2 abscesses while on it. So I stopped the Entocort and started back on Cipro. Now I'm in the midst of trying to figure out the cause of the abscesses.

I'm with Toughenough. I wouldn't go back to the bag unless I saw one of the top centers for the j-pouch. Every doctor appointment gets me one step closer to visiting the Cleveland Clinic, but I have a lot of faith in my doctors in Philadelphia as we have a lot of great GI doctors here as well.

Another point. I would rather stay on long term antibiotics than go back on the biologics as long as the antibiotics keep working. My next long-term solution to ask it to go back on Entocort or try Canasa or something along that line of defense.
