I have suddenly developed burning pain that comes and goes along with bowel spasms.  It has been getting worse and worse over the past week.  I saw my GP to rule out UTI and it was negative.  There is no blood in my feces and no frequency issues.  I saw my Gastroenterologist who was reluctant to order a CT scan, or antibiotics.  I have been on low dose antibiotic for a long time.  No she doesn’t cycle me to other antibiotics.  I don’t think she knows what she is doing as she only has 3 patients with a J-pouch.  She agreed to increase my amoxicillin to take if I’m desperate (Her words).  I started taking it 24 hours ago and it is helping a lot!  Now I am wondering if my body has become tolerant of this medication and the low dose doesn’t work anymore!  But I am confused because a flare of pouchitis includes diarrhea and blood and that isn’t happening?  Help!  Anyone have this happen to them?
