Hi All,
In spite of it being widely known by Pharmacies across the globe, I was only now just informed that there is no tetracycline available, ANYWHERE, and not likely to be any more, ever.
I was on a low dosage for chronic pouchitis, and it was working fine with the occasional dose of Flagyl every 6-9 months, and now I'm stuck. There's no way I'd be able to handle chronic dosage of Flagyl or Cipro, and the only alt my doc has said is steroids or surgery (which doesn't make sense... why trade diarrhea shooting from my bum for diarrhea shooting from my abdomen?)...
Are any of you aware of anything as gentle as Tetracycline that is also used for mild pouchitis? I've also used VSL#3 and it does nothing for me; so no probiotic suggestions, thanks.
