There’s a small chance that you could have developed C. diff while on Cipro (though the Flagyl makes that less likely). My best guess, though, is that your stricture has been getting worse and this is its “evolved” behavior. I wonder if psyllium might work better for you than loperamide for this problem.

Hi Scott,

I’ve never heard of psyllium, I’ll take a look into that. Since coming off my antibiotics my consistency has gone back to how it was beforehand and I’m getting frequent build up of wind (not as bad as before) so I’m unsure whether pouchitits is the issue I’m having here to be honest. I had a capsule endoscopy done the other day so hopefully they can see something from that because something definitely isn’t quite right.

Things have settled at night since starting on my loperamide again but I’m still waking up with a loud gurgling build up of wind and fairly loose stool again.
