I've had my j-pouch for almost 2 years now.
I was going a little at a time very often so I went on cipro again.Do you think Metamucil can
help. My but's so sore I can hardly sit down My
surgon said he was out of options. My gastro Dr.
offered a few things that also didn't help.
Any advise would truly be appreciated.

Difficult to understand your situation from what you've written. Besides Cipro, what other antibiotics have you tried? Have you been diagnosed with pouchitis after having a pouchoscopy? What about cuffitis? It seems surprising that the doctors would say you're out of options based on your account. If you provide more information about what your condition actually is, we might be better able to offer suggestions.
When my GI didn't know how to treat me anymore he referred me to another GI, a specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN.

I had more tests and results in 3 days than I could get in 3 months at home.

It looks like you are closer to the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio than MN. I'd suggest you go to one of these places.

Good Luck
