I am dying from ******* burn right now if that is the term and a flare up of what I believe is pouchitis along with my doctor. The flagyl was working great for about 3 months. Then I just got off it and switched to VSL3. Had an immediate flare up. Switched to both for a day. Then only back to flagyl ass both together did not seem to do anything. It helped me feel better for parts of the day but at night it has been miserable and morning. I think I will bump my Flagyl to 1500 a day or 3 pills. What do you guys think I should do?

There are many other antibiotics that you can try besides Flagyl. Cipro would probably be the next one to try if you haven't already.
i would forget the the probiotics and think getting what appears to be a form of good old pouchitis under control with antibiotics..when i have have pouchitis my burning is so bad i think its all raw in there and bingo when the antibiotics work it just goes like that..so if the upped flagyl does not work there are others..cipro mentioned but also keflex,tindermax and i am presently on augmentin..i have antibiotic dependent pouchitis in other words with out being on antibiotics at all times i am dead meat..

Thanks Rebe I have upped it and feel a little better. I seems to me that I might have the same thing. How long can you last though? It only lasts so long right?
