Over the last year I was treated for a C diff infection. I have not taken any Meds since September of 2011. I had my last scope In early November which the doctor said only showed mild inflamation and she recommended no further treatment. My problem is that it still feels iritated to me. I dont have all the classic signs of pouchitis so could this just be post infectious irritable pouch? When I e mail the doctor I get a response of do not worry your pouch only showed mild inflamation.

Robbi,

This happened to me at one of my scopes and the surgeon took me off augmentin at my request because the inflammation was mild. Within a week my symptoms flared back up to the point of being unbearable so I went back on the augmentin and I am still on it 7 months later (not happy about this, but what choice do I have?).

Can you try pepto? When my gut hurts from taking augmentin for a long period of time, I back off it and
take pepto. It helps with the irritation feeling I often have in my pouch even though I do not have all the other classic pouchitis symptoms.

Thank You I will try this

Stay away from wheat. Wheat products will irritate the pouch.
