I am having some issues with my throat. My doctor prescribed Clindamycin as an antibiotic...he said it is very tough on the gut, though, and to eat lots of yogurt etc. I left his office not making sure that this is a good antibiotic if I have a J Pouch. He is a specialist and not my regular doctor.....I am sure he checked my records but ya never know. Thought I would post here to ask if anyone has ever taken it.

Sounds like c diff is biggest concern with this medicine......anyone had cdiff with a pouch?
Plenty of folks have had C diff with a pouch. IMO that's not a great reason to choose not to take clindamycin if your throat issue requires treatment. You will be more prone to develop C diff while on clindamycin, pouch or no pouch, but the vast majority of folks in that situation won't develop C diff.
I would take it if it the best antibiotic for your issue. Deal with side effects IF they occur. I am not sure that yogurt would make much of a difference one way or another.
