Has anyone taken cipro and flagyl together for pouchitis?

Hi Nanco,

Yes, many people here have taken the combination of Cipro and Flagyl, to varying degrees of success. It's really based on the individual. If you do a search under the Find tab for "cipro and flagyl" you will find many past threads where people discuss the issue.

Welcome to the boards.

Yes, for 16 years I have taken them together as a cocktail, in rotation with other antibiotics. I have had high degree of success and minimal side effects so long as I rotated off in a timely fashion.

Nanco, I'm currently on Cipro and Flagyl. I tolerate them well with minimal side effects. They're worked very well for over a month until the beginning of this week, when I started to go to the bathroom a little more. Today I'm noticing that extremely uncomfortable internal feeling in my rectum and some urgency. I'm praying it's the potato chips and chocolate I ate - maybe I'll get lucky! If not, I'll call my nurse practitioner tomorrow to see what the next step is.
