I see a lot of people are on cipro/flagyl. Do you take both everyday or rotate them (flagyl for a week then cipro for a week)? My son was just diagnosed with Crohns/Pouchitis only 3 months after takedown and is having multiple stools and nighttime incontinence. He has been on Flagyl for a week with no improvement. I asked his doc if they could try adding Cipro (based upon what I see on here) and he agreed to call in the prescription.

I take them together twice daily with food. I was on Cipro alone and didn't work and flagyl was added. It's been 6 days out of a 10 day course and I feel good so far. All the best 😊
When Flagyl did nothing for me originally I switched to just Cipro, and that did the trick for several years. Eventually the Cipro lost effectiveness, and other choices weren't working. Only then did I combine Flagyl and Cipro, with (so far) excellent results.
Thank you Scott and Fosty! I'm glad to hear it worked good for you both. Keeping my fingers crossed.
