I took myself off cipro and tintazole 3 weeks ago after several months due to pouchitis and have been fine. I did it slowly doing cipro for several days then tintazole alone for a week. I am using peptobismol 2-4 times a day and believe it or not drinking wheatgrass juice twice a day and doing what is called a wheatgrass implant or enema once a day. This was recommended as part of the Hippocrates Health Institute program. You put 2-4 oz of wheatgrass juice in a enema bottle into the rectum and try to hold for 10-20 minutes. I sure hope this success keeps up. Wheatgrass juice is probably the most nutritious substance according to this institute and some of the research I've read.
I hope will help others.
