Cefpodoxime (Vantin) for Pouchitis?

DZAtlMember

Hi there, i'm starting to rotate antibiotics as i've been on cipro for almost a year, and flagyl suppositories for 3 years before that. My dr prescribed Vantin to try. I can't find anything online with this being prescribed for pouchitis. Has anyone tried this? I'll also try Xifaxin after that. They're both pretty damn expensive.

I radically changed my diet and got much healthier and felt better, but when i tried to get off antibiotics my pouchitis started coming back. now i'm scared to come off them.

I have the same deal, been on rotating antibiotics for 20 years, diet improved things, but can't get off antibiotics for more than 7-10 days before severe pouchitis sets back in. Probiotics alone have not worked. It is scary how bad I get, quickly, when I go off antibiotics.

I am an antibiotic junkie.
