Pouchitis

If the Cipro isn’t giving you adequate relief there are other antibiotics to try: rifaximin, Augmentin, Tindamax, and maybe a couple of others. When one antibiotic doesn’t do the trick, sometimes a combination will work, and that may be at a low enough dose to avoid side effects. So, for example, you might be able to add a low dose of Flagyl that you can tolerate just fine. If you can’t find an antibiotic or a combination that does the trick, the next step would probably be one of the biologic medications (Remicade, Humira, Entyvio, etc.). This is certainly a nuisance, but it’s worth finding a stable treatment that let’s you feel well and live your life.
