Natural Treatment for Pouchitis?

Hard question. Do you usually have pouchitis? If so, then what do you take and does it work for you? If you do not usually have it then I wouldn't worry too much..Besides, your non pouchy co-soldiers will have the runs just as often if not more so when over seas eating foreign foods and k rations...(mind you, k rations could work well with a j pouch...they have a lot of salt in them, are generally saucy and thickened and have a good protien concentration....hmmm, not a bad idea!)
I would take peptobysmol chewable tablets, chewable probiotics to keep that good flora up high, eat tons of yoghurt, very little white sugars and avoid the sodas. Don't forget to be drinking bottled water and keep the salt tablettes that the army gives out on you at all times, they are great for dehydration!
Other than that, unless you really have a hard time with your pouch, you should be just fine.

Look up Wild Yam Root. It is good for calming bowel troubles and for balacing flora.

I read a lot about Orgegano oil helping. I take Oxy-Q, that is all natural for inflammation and it prevent polyps but the main ingredient is Turmeric Curcumin and that can also possibly help since that reduces inflammation.

Thanks for your replies guys! And just kind of a little more info, I rarely get the pouchitis, this might be like the second time I've gotten it and my doctor didn't seem too worried. She just gives me the two weeks of Flaggyl and that cures it up right away. This past time I had it a few weeks ago and it recently started coming back so I got worried but I remembered I didn't really take the full two weeks of Flaggyl, I stopped. Which probably bit me in the butt lol but I 'finished' it and I'm okay. I'm gonna start eating a ton of yogurt, I heard that's good for that whole digestive thing.
