Pouchitis or Cuffitus? Pepto Bismal?

if it is either one pouchitis or cuffitis i would get doctor drug for it..pepto bismo will not fix either of those conditions..

I have used Pepto Bismol for what I have suspected to be cuffitis a number of times. I use the tablets and my experience has been that "less is more" - when I took two tablets twice a day I had my best results. (When I took 2 tabs 4 times a day I seemed to get bound up.)

I have heard others say that as well.

Hope that's useful to you.

Thanks Rebecca,
As I mentioned, I am in communication with my surgeon as well regarding this ... I just like to get input from those of us who actually live it, not just read about it in a textbook! lol

Cheers

Thanks Lew,

I thought I had read somewhere on here that someone was pleased with the help of Pepto Bismal. Thank you as well for your input re less is better - good information to have!

I have been taking it for a few days now (twice a day) and I went for accupuncture earlier this week and I seem to be recovering nicely! I am not sure if it's the PB or the accupuncture ... but something is working (and no antibiotics!)! woo hoo!

Cheers,

I'm never really sure if it's the Pepto working, Mother Nature or my softening my diet for a few days that ultimately works - but I keep going back to the Pepto when I need it - so far so good! LOL.
