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

My GI believes the abscesses are the result of a fistula and not the Entocort. It only popped up when I was on Entocort because the prior antibiotics were killing anything before it had a chance to abscess.

According to my GI the abscesses are behind my pouch. Since I've only had belly pain and no back pain, I'm not really sure were they are. They are both internal and I was treated with antibiotics once again. I'm not sure if the antibiotics completely get rid of them or if it just reduces them to a more manageable level. I was given a MRI to look for a fistula when the abscesses were found.

I'm still dealing with this, so it is still new to me. I just saw my surgeon who couldn't find a fistula either. My next stop in the Gyn to see if something is up with the lady parts. I have a follow-up with my surgeon in a month to see how things go while on the Cipro once again.

I understand it's a headache. I'm still always at the doctor. I've had 4 scopes since takedown and 3 in less than 1 year. My biggest concern with antibiotics is C-diff since I had it once before. So far, so good though.
