Hey Everyone!

Had One-Step Jpouch surgery late Sept '06. I have been on Antibitics (Cipro or Augmentin) since Dec '06. Close to a full year. It has been 6 weeks since I was on a full dose of Augmentin and 2 1/2 weeks since I stopped all together! I am taking 2 culturelle a day and eat yogurt. No signs of pouchitis cramps, etc!

To those of you who feel you are dependant on antibiotics, there is hope. If you can't get off, they really aint bad as long as you dont have side effects.

Keith

Keith,

Sounds good. I take Culturelle in the mornings and DanActive in the evenings. You can get yogurt with active Probiotics too. Green tea is also good for the pouch. [ Oh, DanActive is right next to the yogurts in the grocery stores. ]

I take two Forvia vitamin / mineral chewable tabs each day. They are made especially for folks with IBD and etc.
