I've had chronic pouchitis for 10 yrs now and flagyl seems to be the one that always works .Tried cipro, xifaxan, budesonide, suppositories anucort and canasa. But now I have numbness in feet and toes the docs feel is from flagyl. But everytime I stop the flagyl the pouchitis comes back. They tell me the damage is done and can't be fixed but I hope I can not do any more damage. Any ideas?

There's Tindamax, chemically similar ro Flagyl, but with fewer side effects.
It seems to be the "go-to" antibiotic for Dr. Shen for folks who can no longer take Flagyl.

If you haven't been screened yet, you should be tested for C. difficile infection, since Flagyl seems to be the only antibiotic that works.

When you go off the flagyl does the feeling in your feet come back? I have neuropathy in my feet and the neurologist said the damage is not reversa ble and he has not figured out what caused it.
I'm just putting my 2 cents in to say if they go back to normal you are lucky and don't take flagyl again. I wonder if all the years on asacol did this to my feet? Thanks for the post, I just thought of something else, asacol, to check out. I'm afraid until we find the cause I might get more problems down the road.
