Hi All,

Prescribed Flagyl 3x/day for 2 weeks for probable cuffitis. I've been taking it for 4 days (11 doses). I noticed a benefit to my symptoms almost immediately, which was great. Right now, all my complaints are essentially gone.

However, I have pretty much gone the entire day without having even the slightest urge for a BM. After dinner tonight, I finally got a little something, and when trying to empty, I had some output, but nothing that feels complete. Is this medicine slowing transit time too much??

If memory serves, antibiotics have done this to be in the past. I've reached out to the doctor already, but wondering if 10 more days won't do more damage than good? Should I supplement with something to help produce BM more often?

As long as your output does not get too hard, I would not mind. You may try to keep your stool soft with psyllium husk and drink enough water together with it.

Probiotics could also help to prevent pouchitis / cuffitis from returning, I would start them before finishing the antibiotics course.
