When Cipro stopped working for me after a few years, adding Flagyl (taking both together) did the trick. This worked even though Flagyl alone never helped me.

Thanks so much Scott F, however when I took flagyl it made me ill(terrible stomach problems) maybe my doctor would combine cipro and something else, like maybe cipro and keflex. I will certainly look into this with my doctor.

Antibiotics didn't work for me so now on Entocort. I'm 1 wk in so far and no side effects. It is a milder steroid. Hopefully it will work!!
