Going on Cipro tomorrow - best advice?

PouchyTXMember

Hey Pouchers

Quick fun facts, got my J-pouch final connection done 12/2003... been healthy as a horse ever since. The last month was my first real symptoms of pouchitis. I tried to heal it naturally taking some supplements making dietary changes - but nothing is working. So I'm giving into a round of antibiotics.

I start Cipro tomorrow, 2 weeks at 500mg 2x day.

What are you best tips to minimize the side effects of the medication?

I have some Probiotics that I can take afterward. Any other suggestions?

Excited to feel well again, get my BM's down to a normal amount and not have the pain and bloating anymore!
